Abstract: A digital front end transceiver system (300) for a software radio system comprising: a transmitter module (310) adapted to digitally interpolate, up-convert and combine baseband digital in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) channels to form a digital intermediate frequency (IF) IQ signal for conversion to an analogue IF IQ signal for transmission; and a receiver module (320) adapted to separate, down-convert and decimate a received digital IF IQ signal into baseband digital I and Q channels. The transmitter and receiver modules use a common fixed sampling and IF conversion rate fs, where fs is a quadruple of the bandwidth of the baseband signal, such that the system can be applied in a software radio system for a wireless communication application having any baseband bandwidth by selecting the fixed sampling rate based on the baseband bandwidth.
