Abstract: A radio transceiver (400, 450) is intended for transmission and reception of radio signals in two frequency bands, and it comprises a first signal input (101) for receiving radio signals in the first frequency band, and a second signal input (102) for receiving radio signals in the second frequency band. In addition, it comprises a first mixer connected to the first signal input (101) for mixing the radio signals (DCS RX) in the first frequency band onto a predetermined first intermediate frequency (IF1); a second mixer (404) for mixing the first intermediate frequency (IF1) onto a predetermined second intermediate frequency (IF2); and a third mixer (402, 461) connected to the second signal input (102) for mixing the radio signals (GSM RX) in the second frequency band onto a predetermined frequency (IF2), which is substantially the same as the second intermediate frequency.

Abstract: The invention relates to a biased electronic circuit in which a voltage-controlled component has a characteristic with a non-linear portion and a substantially linear portion. The circuit is biased by a voltage being applied to one terminal of the component thereby shifting the operation of the component to the linear portion.
