  • Patent number: 8503507
    Abstract: The method is for using a multi-tune transceiver. A single oscillator (VCO/DCO) is provided that is electronically connected to a divider. An input channel is provided that is in communication with the divider and an analog-to-digital converter. The input channel has a first bandwidth and the converter has a second bandwidth that is broader than the first bandwidth. The single oscillator (VCO/DCO) operates at a frequency higher than frequencies inside the reception band such as the FM band. The divider divides the frequency of the single oscillator that is used as input when producing overlapping sub-bands that cover the entire reception band.
