Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention transmit signals simultaneously over a communication channel at different RF center frequencies, and may use a single power amplifier and antenna. In one embodiment the present invention includes a method of transmitting information in a wireless communication channel comprising receiving digital signals having data to be transmitted, converting the signals to analog signals, up-converting each analog signal, combining the up-converted signals, amplifying the combined up-converted signal and transmitting the combined up-converted signal. In one embodiment, the same data is sent over a transmission channel at two different frequencies to improve reliability.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention include circuits and methods for dividing high frequency signals. In one embodiment the present invention includes a divider circuit comprising a differential circuit having first and second inputs to receive a first differential signal, a first frequency control input and first and second differential outputs, wherein the differential circuit has a first bias current. The divider circuit further includes a cross-coupled circuit having outputs coupled to the differential circuit outputs and a second frequency control input, wherein the cross-coupled circuit has a second bias current. Embodiments of the present invention may include circuits for controlling the relationship between bias currents and circuit parameters that vary with process or temperature or both.
