  • Publication number: 20250274147
    Abstract: Presented herein is a frequency-agile transmitter for transmitting either a low or a high frequency signal. The transmitter comprises a low frequency mixing stage for combining at least two input signals encoding input data, the at least two input signals being further combined with a local oscillator signal when transmitting the low frequency signal. The transmitter also includes a transmit element for receiving output from the low frequency mixing stage. The transmit element includes a signal controller for selectively sending the output from the low frequency mixing stage to one of a low frequency transmission path, to transmit the low frequency signal, and a high frequency mixing stage, wherein the high frequency mixing stage up-converts the output from the low frequency mixing stage with a local oscillator signal when transmitting the high frequency signal along the high frequency transmission path.
