Patent ID: 8483642

Claim:
A surface acoustic wave (SAW)-less receiver comprises: a front end module (FEM) interface module operable to receive an inbound radio frequency (RF) signal; an RF to intermediate frequency (IF) receiver section that includes: a frequency translated bandpass filter (FTBPF) includes: a switching network; and a complex baseband filter having an offset baseband filter response, wherein the switching network is operable to frequency translate the offset baseband filter response to an RF frequency response such that the FTBPF filters the inbound RF signal by passing, substantially unattenuated, a desired RF signal component and by attenuating at least one of: an image signal component and an undesired signal component to produce a filtered inbound RF signal; a low noise amplifier module (LNA) operable to amplify the filtered inbound RF signal to produce an amplified inbound RF signal; and a mixing section operable to mix the amplified inbound RF signal with a local oscillation to produce an inbound IF signal; and a receiver IF to baseband section operable to convert the inbound IF signal into one or more inbound symbol streams.
