Abstract: A method of operating a radio frequency transceiver may include generating, by a transmit circuit of the transceiver, in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) analog signals based on a digital calibration signal; mixing, by the transmit circuit, the I and Q analog signals with local oscillator (LO) and phase shifted LO signals to generate upconverted I and Q signals, the LO signal having a first frequency, and combining the upconverted I and Q signals to generate a combined signal; and converting, by a receive circuit of the transceiver, a signal based on the combined signal to a received digital signal using a sampling rate at a second frequency, the second frequency being less than the first frequency, wherein the converting downconverts frequency content in the combined signal.

Abstract: A spread-spectrum receiver for time sharing a correlator for simultaneously receiving a plurality of parallel spread-spectrum signals. A combined multiplicity of symbols includes a multiplicity of symbols, simultaneously occurring during a symbol-time duration, from a plurality of spread-spectrum signals. A demultiplexer demultiplexes a sequence of the combined multiplicity of symbols into a plurality of symbol registers. Each of the symbol registers stores the chip-sequence signals corresponding to the combined multiplicity of symbols which were sent to the particular symbol register. A multiplexer selects a symbol register, other than the symbol register selected by the demultiplexer. The multiplicity of chip-sequence signals stored in the selected symbol register by the multiplexer are compared by a comparator with a multiplicity of replicas of the chip-sequence signals used to generate the spread-spectrum signals.
