Patent ID: 8576768

Claim:
A method, comprising: receiving two or more wireless signals at a receiver at two or more receiver paths; downconverting the two or more received wireless signals using two or more separate complex mixers in the two or more receiver paths to generate at least in-phase and quadrature intermediate frequency signals based, at least in part, on two or more oscillating signals having individually selectable frequencies received from one or more local oscillators to enable oscillating signals at different frequencies to be applied to different ones of said separate complex mixers generating said in-phase and quadrature intermediate frequency signals; combining the two or more in-phase and quadrature intermediate frequency signals to generate a combined signal comprising an in-phase component and a quadrature component; converting the combined signal to a digital signal using a single analog-to-digital converter, the digital signal comprising an in-phase component and a quadrature component; and wherein said two or more receiver paths comprise two or more low noise amplifiers, and wherein said in-phase and quadrature intermediate frequency signals are spectrally shifted to different intermediate frequencies by said separate complex mixers.
