Patent ID: 7444166

Claim:
A wireless device comprising: a first receiver unit operable to receive and amplify first and second input signals for first and second frequency bands to obtain first and second amplified signals, respectively, and to downconvert the first and second amplified signals from radio frequency (RF) to baseband and provide first and second baseband signals, respectively, wherein the first receiver unit includes replicated RF circuit blocks for downconverting from RF to baseband for each of the first and second frequency bands; and a second receiver unit operable to receive and amplify a third input signal for the first or second frequency band to obtain a third amplified signal, and to downconvert the third amplified signal from RF to baseband and provide a third baseband signal, wherein the second receiver unit includes at least one RF circuit block for downconverting from RF to baseband that is shared by the first and second frequency bands.
