Publication number: 20170019129Abstract: A method and arrangement for transmitting and receiving RF signals, associated with different radio interfaces of communication systems, employ a direct conversion based transceiver which substantially comprises one receive signal branch and one transmit signal branch. Mixing frequencies of the different systems are generated by a single common by use of an output frequency divider in combination with the synthesizer, and by use of filtering corresponding to a system channel bandwidth by means of a controllable low-pass filter operating at baseband frequency.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2016Publication date: January 19, 2017Inventors: Risto Väisänen, Kim Kaltiokallio

Patent number: 8981986Abstract: Measures are provided for performing direct radio-frequency to digital conversion. A radio-frequency input signal is compared with a plurality of reference voltages to generate a plurality of comparison signals, each comparison signal corresponding to one of the plurality of reference voltages. One or more of the plurality of generated comparison signals are first filtered to generate a first filtered signal. One or more of the plurality of generated comparison signals are second filtered to generate a second filtered signal. A digital output signal is generated at least on the basis of the first filtered signal and the second filtered signal.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2013Date of Patent: March 17, 2015Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Pauli Mikael Seppinen, Markus Nentwig, Sami Seppo Antero Kallioinen, Kim Kaltiokallio
