Patent ID: 8666351

Claim:
A surface acoustic wave (SAW)-less receiver comprises: a front end module (FEM) interface module operable to receive an inbound radio frequency (RF) signal that includes a first RF band signal having desired and undesired components and a second RF band signal having desired and undesired components, wherein the FEM interface module comprises: a transformer; and a tunable capacitor network coupled to a secondary of the transformer to filter the inbound RF signal; an RF to intermediate frequency (IF) receiver section that includes: a frequency translated bandpass filter (FTBPF) includes: a switching network; and a plurality of baseband impedances having a baseband filter response, wherein the switching network is operable to frequency translate the baseband filter response to a first RF band frequency response and to a second RF frequency band response, wherein the FTBPF filters the inbound RF signal to pass, substantially unattenuated, a desired component of a selected one of the first and second RF band signals to produce one of a first filtered inbound RF signal and a second filtered inbound RF signal; a low noise amplifier module (LNA) operable to amplify the one of the first and second filtered inbound RF signals to produce one of a first amplified inbound RF signal and a second amplified inbound RF signal; and a mixing section operable to mix the one of the first and second amplified inbound RF signals with a corresponding first or second local oscillation to produce one of a first inbound IF signal and a second inbound IF signal; and a receiver IF to baseband section operable to convert the one of the first and second inbound IF signals into one of first inbound symbol streams and second inbound symbol streams.
