Abstract: An interleaving apparatus includes an interleaver for concurrently sorting bits of input data according to the predetermined interleave pattern; a switch including an input terminal supplied with an input signal subject to an interleave process, an input terminal supplied with a signal output from the interleaver, an output terminal for outputting an output signal, representing the result of interleaving completed on the input signal, and an output terminal for outputting a signal input to the interleaver, thus switching connection between the input terminals and the output terminals; and a controller for controlling the switch to use the interleaver once or repeatedly use it multiple times in response to each of interleave patterns.

Abstract: A multiband receiver is disclosed for receiving a multiband RF signal having first and second RF bands. The first RF band contains a first service RF range, and the second RF band contains a second service RF range. The receiver includes a mixer for converting the RF signal into an IF signal, using a single local oscillator frequency “f,” and an IF bandpass filter for canceling out some of frequencies of the IF signal outside of a predetermined passband. The local oscillator frequency “f” is determined to allow the first and second service IF ranges to lie outside of the predetermined passband, and to allow a frequency portion of the first IF band exclusive of the first service IF range and a frequency portion of the second IF band exclusive of the second service IF range to lie within the predetermined passband.
