Patent ID: 7848395

Claim:
A fully duplexed transceiver having a transmit portion and a receive portion, said fully duplexed transceiver comprising: a single oscillator, associated with the fully duplexed transceiver, configured to generate an oscillator signal at a desired frequency; a power splitter configured to receive said oscillator signal and to divide said signal into first and second signals; and a first multiplier configured to receive said first signal and to scale the frequency of said first signal by a factor of M, wherein said first signal, as scaled, is used for frequency conversion in the transmit portion of said fully duplexed transceiver, wherein said second signal is used for frequency conversion in the receive portion of said fully duplexed transceiver, wherein any signal that is used for frequency conversion that originates from said single oscillator is not scaled in frequency using a phase lock loop, and wherein M is any rational integer number other than 0 and 1.
