Patent ID: 7242259

Claim:
A transceiver device configured for generating an oscillator signal based on a base signal, comprising: an input configured for receiving the base signal; an output configured for transmitting the oscillator signal generated; an oscillator configured for actively constructing the oscillator signal with oscillations, the oscillator configured to be activated in a quasi-phase-coherent manner aided by a control signal generated by a clock generator and configured to be activated in a quasi-phase-coherent manner with respect to the base signal via the base signal for generating the oscillator signal; an oscillator configured for generating an oscillating signal; a mixer comprising an input to which the oscillating signal of the oscillator is applied; at least one interface configured for at least one of transmitting and receiving signals, the interface being connected to the mixer; at least one output of the mixer configured for outputting a signal received from the at least one interface and mixed down with the oscillating signal; and a signal and data processing apparatus connected to the mixer; the clock generator being configured for activating the oscillator; the device being usable as a receiver if the oscillator is not modulated by the clock generator, and the device being usable as a transmitter if the oscillator is modulated by the clock generator in its quasi-phase-coherent activation capability and in at least one of its amplitude, phase, and frequency.
