Patent ID: 8249533

Claim:
A rapidly adjustable local oscillation (LO) module in a multiple transmission path radio frequency transmitter to communicate with a plurality of clients, the rapidly adjustable LO module comprises: oscillation generating module operably coupled to contemporaneously generate a plurality of local oscillations, wherein each of the plurality of local oscillations has a frequency that causes a direct baseband to radio frequency conversion via heterodyne action to a corresponding plurality of carrier frequencies in common frequency band; and a high frequency switching module to provide one of the plurality of local oscillations at a rate sufficient to accommodate a change in communication from one client to another client of the plurality of clients, the high frequency switching module operably coupled to: for a first one of a plurality of transmission paths, provide one of the plurality of local oscillations when a first transmission path selection indication is in a first state and provide another one of the plurality of local oscillations when the first transmission path selection indication is in a second state; and for a second one of the plurality of transmission paths, provide the one of the plurality of local oscillations when a second transmission path selection indication is in a first state and provide the another one of the plurality of local oscillations when the second transmission path selection indication is in a second state.
