Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is an apparatus for converting a frequency. The apparatus includes: an oscillator configured to generate a first oscillation signal having a first oscillation frequency which is obtained by subtracting an input frequency from a carrier frequency of any one carrier signal among a first to a n-th carrier signals (n is a natural number), and generate a second oscillation signal having a second oscillation frequency which is obtained by adding the input frequency to a carrier frequency of any one carrier signal among a (n+1)-th to a 2n-th carrier signals; and a mixer configured to mix and output the first oscillation signal or the second oscillation signal with an input signal having the input frequency.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . An apparatus for converting a frequency, the apparatus comprising: an oscillator configured to generate a first oscillation signal having a first oscillation frequency which is obtained by subtracting an input frequency from a carrier frequency of any one carrier signal among a first to a n-th carrier signals (n is a natural number), and generate a second oscillation signal having a second oscillation frequency which is obtained by adding the input frequency to a carrier frequency of any one carrier signal among a (n+1)-th to a 2n-th carrier signals; and a mixer configured to mix and output the first oscillation signal or the second oscillation signal with an input signal having the input frequency. 2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the input frequency is an intermediate frequency. 3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the mixer adds and outputs the input signal to the first oscillation signal. 4 . The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the mixer subtracts and outputs the input signal from the second oscillator signal. 5 . An RF transmitter comprising: an oscillator configured to generate a first oscillation signal having a first oscillation frequency which is obtained by subtracting an input frequency from a carrier frequency of any one carrier signal among a first to a n-th carrier signals (n is a natural number), and generate a second oscillation signal having a second oscillation frequency which is obtained by adding the input frequency to a carrier frequency of any one carrier signal among a (n+1)-th to a 2n-th carrier signals; a mixer configured to mix and output the first oscillation signal or the second oscillation signal with an input signal having the input frequency; and a filter configured to filter a signal output from the mixer. 6 . The RF transmitter of claim 5 , wherein the filter is a band pass filter. 7 . The RF transmitter of claim 6 , wherein the band pass filter has a bandwidth defined based on a product of a bandwidth of the input signal and the 2n (n is a natural number). 8 . The RF transmitter of claim 5 , wherein the mixer adds and outputs the input signal to the first oscillation signal. 9 . The RF transmitter of claim 5 , wherein the mixer subtracts and outputs the input signal from the second oscillator signal.
