Abstract:
1. A receiving apparatus, the apparatus comprising: a chip carrier including at least one stack of layers wherein at least one layer in the stack supports radio frequency transmission lines; tunable bandpass filters, wherein each bandpass filter is integrated within an associated radio frequency transmission line; and at least one integrated micro-chip on the chip carrier, wherein the at least one integrated micro-chip comprises: the at least one integrated micro-chip to couple selected bandwidth regions of received broadband radio frequency signals to the tunable bandpass filters via the associated radio frequency transmission line, wherein the at least one integrated micro-chip outputs each filtered selected bandwidth region to an associated one of a plurality of intermediate frequency modules; a controller; and trace lines communicatively coupled to the controller, wherein the controller controls the antenna-select switches in the at least one integrated micro-chip, the tunable bandpass filters and the plurality of intermediate frequency modules via the trace lines.
