Abstract

A receiver device includes an antenna that receives a high frequency signal having a bandwidth, a mixer connected to the antenna and a frequency multiplier. A filter that removes a noise signal whose frequency is different from that of the local signal is provided between the local oscillator and the frequency multiplier. The filter removes the noise signal that satisfies the condition that the absolute value of the frequency difference between the center frequency of the local signal and the center frequency of the noise signal is less than the bandwidth of the high frequency signal.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A wireless communication device comprising:
an antenna configured to transmit or receive a high frequency signal having a preset bandwidth;
a local oscillator configured to output a local signal, a center frequency of the local signal being lower than that of the high frequency signal;
a frequency multiplier configured to multiply the local signal in frequency, the frequency multiplier being electrically connected to the local oscillator;
a mixer connected to the antenna and the frequency multiplier; and
a filter provided between the local oscillator and the frequency multiplier, the filter being configured to allow the local signal to pass and remove a noise signal whose frequency is different from that of the local signal, such that the filter is configured to remove the noise signal that satisfies a condition that an absolute value of a frequency difference between the center frequency of the local signal and the center frequency of the noise signal is less than the bandwidth of the high frequency signal.

2. The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein
the filter includes a band pass filter or a band stop filter that is configured to allow the local signal to pass and remove the noise signal.

3. The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein
the filter is configured as a combination of an inductive element and a capacitive element.

4. The wireless communication device according to claim 2 , wherein
the band pass filter includes a series resonant circuit of an inductive element and a capacitive element, and
the band stop filter includes a parallel resonant circuit of an inductive element and a capacitive element.

5. The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein
the noise signal is another high frequency signal being used for wireless communication in a frequency band different from that of the high frequency signal.

6. The wireless communication device according to claim 2 , wherein
the filter is configured as a combination of an inductive element and a capacitive element.

7. The wireless communication device according to claim 6 , wherein
the band pass filter includes a series resonant circuit of an inductive element and a capacitive element, and
the band stop filter includes a parallel resonant circuit of an inductive element and a capacitive element.

8. The wireless communication device according to claim 2 , wherein
the noise signal is another high frequency signal being used for wireless communication in a frequency band different from that of the high frequency signal.

9. The wireless communication device according to claim 3 , wherein
the noise signal is another high frequency signal being used for wireless communication in a frequency band different from that of the high frequency signal.

10. The wireless communication device according to claim 4 , wherein
the noise signal is another high frequency signal being used for wireless communication in a frequency band different from that of the high frequency signal.

11. The wireless communication device according to claim 6 , wherein
the noise signal is another high frequency signal being used for wireless communication in a frequency band different from that of the high frequency signal.

12. The wireless communication device according to claim 7 , wherein
the noise signal is another high frequency signal being used for wireless communication in a frequency band different from that of the high frequency signal.
