  • Patent number: 9918310
    Abstract: An RF receiver comprises a down-converting and sampling circuit (104) adapted to: receive an RF input signal (RFIN) having a signal band (BWRF) comprising a plurality of sub-bands (BWIF), each sub-band comprising a plurality (2K) of channels separated by frequency channel spaces (?fCH); and perform frequency transposition and sampling to generate a discrete time signal in which a selected one of the plurality of sub-bands is brought from an initial frequency band to a lower frequency band (IF20±K?fCH); and a discrete time filter (108) having a variable pass band, the central frequency (f0) of the discrete time filter being controllable to select any one of the plurality (2K) of channels of the selected sub-band.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8705675
    Abstract: An RF signal reception device including: a transposition device of signals of frequency fRF to a first intermediate frequency IF1<fRF; a first bandpass filter centered on IF1; a sampler at a frequency fs<IF1; a second discrete-time filter centered on a second intermediate frequency IF2=?·fs/M+fs/(M·n); a decimation device of a factor M; an analog-digital convertor to operate at a frequency fs/M; where ?, n and M are strictly positive real numbers chosen such that: ?<fs/(2·BWch·M), and BWch/2<fs/M·n), with BWch: bandwidth of a channel of the received RF signals.
