Patent ID: 8385444

Claim:
A receiver comprises: a bandpass filter module configured to filter an inbound wireless signal to produce a filtered inbound wireless signal having a bandwidth, wherein the inbound wireless signal includes a desired signal component and an undesired signal component; a forward path module including: a forward sample and hold module configured to sample and hold, at a rate corresponding to a multiple of the bandwidth of the filtered inbound wireless signal, the filtered inbound wireless signal to produce a forward frequency domain sample pulse train; and a discrete time bandpass filter module configured to bandpass filter the forward frequency domain sample pulse train to produce a bandpass filtered sample pulse; a blocker path module including: a blocker sample and hold module configured to sample and hold, at the rate corresponding to the multiple of the bandwidth of the filtered inbound wireless signal, the filtered inbound wireless signal to produce a blocker frequency domain sample pulse train; and a discrete time notch filter module configured to notch filter the blocker frequency domain sample pulse train to produce a notched filtered sample pulse; a combining module configured to combine the bandpass filtered sample pulse and the notched filtered sample pulse to produce a filtered inbound signal that includes a substantially un-attenuated representation of the desired signal component and an attenuated representation of the undesired signal component; and a conversion module configured to convert the filtered inbound signal into an inbound baseband signal.
