Abstract:
1. A receiver system, comprising: a first antenna configured to receive a plurality of satellite radio frequency (RF) carrier waves; a second antenna configured to receive a plurality of terrestrial RF carrier waves; a first splitter in communication with said first antenna, said first splitter adapted to generate and output a plurality of single split satellite RF carrier waves from the received satellite RF carrier waves; a second splitter in communication with said second antenna, said second splitter adapted to generate and output a plurality of single split terrestrial RF carrier waves from the received terrestrial RF carrier waves; a first plurality of tuners in communication with said first splitter, with each tuner in the first plurality of tuners including at least one intermediate frequency (IF) signal, each tuner in the first plurality of tuners is configured to process a single split satellite RF carrier wave and produce an output with a different carrier frequency than said single split satellite RF carrier wave; and a second plurality of tuners in communication with said second splitter, with each tuner in the second plurality of tuners including at least one intermediate frequency (IF) signal, each tuner in the second plurality of tuners is configured to process a single split terrestrial RF carrier wave and produce an output with a different carrier frequency than said single split terrestrial RF carrier wave.
