  • Patent number: 11799425
    Abstract: The invention relates to a mixer for generating an analog output signal XOUT from an analog input signal XIN using a mixing signal having a mixing frequency fMIX, the mixer comprising: a scaler being configured to sample the analog input signal XIN at a plurality of discrete points in time k with a sampling frequency fS to obtain a sampled analog input signal XIN[k] having a continuous signal value, and to generate the analog output signal XOUT having a continuous signal value by scaling the sampled analog input signal XIN[k] on the basis of a plurality of scaling coefficients A[k], wherein the scaling coefficients A[k] are a time-discrete representation of the mixing signal.

  • Patent number: 10382070
    Abstract: A communication apparatus including a first mixer configured to generate an analog output signal (XOUT) from an analog input signal (XIN) using a first mixing signal, a second mixer configured to generate an analog output signal (YOUT) from an analog input signal (YIN) using a second mixing signal, and a local oscillator configured to provide a reference frequency (fREF), where the first mixer is configured to derive a first sampling frequency (fS,1) from the fREF, and where the second mixer is configured to derive a second sampling frequency (fS,2) from the fREF.
