Patent ID: 8204537

Claim:
A method for operating a wireless device comprising: the wireless device determining a set of information signals for receipt, the set of information signals carried by a Radio Frequency (RF) Multiple Frequency Bands Multiple Standards (MFBMS) signal having a plurality of information signal frequency bands; a RF receiver section of the wireless device receiving the RF MFBMS signal; the RF receiver section of the wireless device: for a first set of information signals of the RF MFBMS signal, down-converting the RF MFBMS signal by a first shift frequency to produce a baseband/low Intermediate Frequency (BB/IF) MFBMS signal; and for a second set of information signals of the RF MFBMS signal, down-converting the RF MFBMS signal by a second shift frequency to produce the BB/IF MFBMS signal, wherein the second shift frequency differs from the first shift frequency; wherein down converting the RF MFBMS signal by the second shift frequency causes at least one information signal frequency band of the BB/IF MFBMS signal to be shifted below zero frequency; further comprising high pass filtering the down converted BB/IF MFBMS signal to remove the at least one information signal frequency band that is shifted below zero frequency; and a baseband processor of the wireless device extracting data from the set of information signals of the BB/IF MFBMS signal.
