Claim:
1. A receiver, comprising: a wireless interface configured to receive a radio frequency signal including a plurality of wireless services having different radio frequencies and frequency bandwidths; a diplexer and circulator configured to band-limit the received radio frequency signal to include a first downlink frequency bandwidth of a first wireless service of the plurality of wireless services and a second downlink frequency bandwidth of a second wireless service of the plurality of wireless services; the diplexer further configured to remove uplink frequency bandwidths between the first downlink frequency bandwidth and the second downlink frequency bandwidth of the band-limited radio frequency signal; a first mixer configured to down convert the band-limited radio frequency signal, in a single stage using a first single down converting frequency, to a first single intermediate frequency signal, wherein the first single intermediate frequency signal includes a first intermediate frequency signal of the first downlink frequency bandwidth and a first intermediate frequency signal of the second downlink frequency bandwidth, wherein the first intermediate frequency signal of the first downlink frequency bandwidth and the first intermediate signal of the second downlink frequency bandwidth are different; a second mixer configured to down convert the first single intermediate frequency signal, in a single stage using a second single down converting frequency, to a second intermediate frequency signal, wherein the second intermediate frequency signal includes a second intermediate frequency signal of the first downlink frequency bandwidth and a second intermediate frequency signal of the second downlink frequency bandwidth, wherein the second intermediate frequency signal of the first downlink frequency bandwidth and the second intermediate frequency signal of the second downlink frequency bandwidth are substantially the same; and an analog-to-digital converter configured to recover data from the second intermediate frequency signal.
