    摘要: An apparatus and method for receiving and processing multiple independent, uncorrelated RF signals is presented. The apparatus includes a Hybrid-Direct Conversion Receiver incorporating front end branches, protocol-specific digital processing branches, an interference detector, a correlator, and an offset control for controlling oscillator sources. The front end branches each contain a preselector that filters received signals and a mixer that down converts the received signal to an IF offset from a reference frequency by a unique offset. The bandwidth of an IF processor is partitioned into sub-channels corresponding to the different offsets and is wider than the combination of the sub-channels. The interference detector and correlator determine whether a particular desired signal is degraded by interference signals and select a new sub-channel. This information is provided to the offset control, which adjusts a LO source coupled to the corresponding down mixer accordingly.

    摘要: A receiver for a wireless communication device provides a dual path receiver receiving first and second protocol-agnostic, uncorrelated receive signals simultaneously. The dual path receiver generating first and second offset IF signals from the simultaneously received first and second protocol-agnostic, uncorrelated receive signals. The receiver utilizes at least one converter for converting the first and second offset IF signals into at least one serial synchronous interface (SSI) signal representing the spectrum at IF. At least one processor receives the at least one SSI signal and applies parallel processing paths to demodulate the at least one SSI signal into separate baseband signals. The processor provides interference detection of, and level control for, the first and second offset IF signals.

    摘要: A dual input low noise amplifier (LNA) for multi-band frequency operation is disclosed. The dual input LNA (100) simultaneously operates in two amplifier configurations for the two inputs (101 and 103), of a first frequency band and a second frequency band, to produce a common output (113). Matching networks (102 and 104) receive and pass the inputs (101 and 103) to a transistor device (106). The transistor device is coupled to a series resonant circuit (108) at a first input node (107) to ground AC signal energy from a second input node (109) of the transistor device. The grounding causes the transistor device to simultaneously amplify and combine the signals at the first and the second input nodes to produce the common output of the first frequency band and the second frequency band at a common output node (111) of the transistor device.

    摘要: An architecture for a receiver front end utilizes a dual output low noise amplifier (102) driving separate, fixed preselectors (104, 106) coupled to a transformer (108) to generate a single ended output (113). A pair of blocks coupled in series provides a dual band output. Additional pairs of blocks (201, 203) can be cascaded in parallel to provide additional frequency bands of operation. The front end architecture of the present invention provides switchless multi-band operation to a communication device.

    摘要: A system and method of improving the rejection of intermodulation (IM) distortion in receivers (100) employing varactor tuning preselecters by exploiting the attenuating properties of a tunable preselecter at specific voltages. The invention takes advantage of a first preselecter (101) and a second preselecter (105) already present in existing receiver circuits enabling them to provide attenuation to incoming radio frequency (RF) signals. This enables the receiver to better operate without the burden of interference and without the need to retrofit the receiver with added attenuator circuitry.
