Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A frequency translation filter 500 is configured to receive a radio frequency (RF) signal 501 comprising first and second non-contiguous carriers or non-contiguous frequency ranges. The frequency translation filter comprises a mixer 503 configured to mix the RF signal 501 received on a first input with a local oscillator (LO) signal 505 received on a second input. A filter 507 comprises a frequency dependent load impedance, the filter having band-pass characteristics which, when frequency translated using the mixer 503 , contain first and second pass-bands corresponding to the first and second non-contiguous carriers or non-contiguous frequency ranges. The first and second pass-bands are centered about the local oscillator frequency.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).
