Patent ID: 8565710

Claim:
A surface acoustic wave (SAW)-less transmitter comprises: an up-conversion mixing module operable to convert an outbound symbol stream into an up-converted signal; a frequency translated bandpass filter (FTBPF) operable to: frequency translate a baseband filter response to a radio frequency (RF) bandpass filter response; and filter the up-converted signal in accordance with the RF bandpass filter response to produce a filtered up-converted signal; an output module operable to condition the filtered up-converted signal to produce a conditioned up-converted signal, comprising: a pair of capacitor arrays operable to attenuate at least one of common-noise and line noise from the filtered up-converted signal to produce a partially conditioned up-converted signal; and a transformer operable to convert the partially conditioned up-converted signal into a single-ended signal, which corresponds to the conditioned up-converted signal; and a power amplifier driver operable to amplify the conditioned up-converted signal to produce an outbound RF signal.
