Patent GB-2375246-A (GB)
Title: Frequency conversion of signals
Inventor: KENINGTON PETER
IPC: H03D7/16
Filed: 2001-04-30
Abstract: When using a DSP to digitally predistort the RF input to a power amplifier, it is necessary to downconvert the frequency of the input signal to enable it to be processed by the DSP. The predistorted amplifier input signal produced by the DSP is then upconverted to its original frequency and supplied to the power amplifier. The downconverter and the upconverter each comprise a number of mixers 10, 12, 13, 14, 16 18 that operate in series upon the amplifier input signal. Each of the mixers mixes a respective reference signal into the amplifier input signal to change the latter's frequency. All of the reference signals are derived from the same reference oscillator. If the total number of mixers that perform high-sided mixing is constrained to be even, then frequency errors associated with the downconversion and subsequent upconversion are eliminated.

Patent GB-2390241-A (GB)
Title: Homodyne radio receiver
Inventor: FOX ANDREW JOHN
IPC: H04B1/18
Filed: 2002-06-28
Abstract: In a duplexerless homodyne receiver, suitable for use in a base station of a mobile communications system, received signals are supplied to a wideband filter 20, and the filtered signals are supplied to a first low noise amplifier 22. The amplified signals are supplied to a first narrowband filter 24. These filtered signals are supplied to a second low noise amplifier 26, and the further amplified signals are supplied to a second narrowband filter 28. These signals, at the received radio frequency, are then supplied to a quadrature demodulator for direct downconversion to baseband. This combination of two low noise amplifiers 22,26 and two narrowband filters 24,28 provides the required attenuation of the interferer to avoid saturating the subsequent quadrature demodulator, while also providing enough gain to ensure that the noise figure of the received signal is not degraded, while using components which are smaller and cheaper than would be the case in attempting to meet the requirements using just one amplifier and one filter.
