Patent ID: 6941106

Claim:
A structure for reducing intermodulation interference in satellite signal transmission, comprising: vertical and horizontal receiving antennas for receiving vertical and horizontal polarized signals sent from a satellite; an RF amplifying system for amplifying and down-converting said received vertical and horizontal signals; a first and a second mixer for executing a frequency subtraction operation; a first-stage common local oscillator, from an oscillating frequency of which frequencies of said vertical and horizontal signals output from said RF amplifying system are separately subtracted in the frequency subtraction operation separately executed at said first and said second mixer to generate a mid-band; a first mid-frequency amplifier and a first low-pass filter for amplifying and filtering noises from the signal output from said first mixer; a second mid-frequency amplifier and a second low-pass filter for amplifying and filtering noises from the signal output from said second mixer; an intermodulation system, including: a third mixer for receiving the signal output from said second mid-frequency amplifier and executing a frequency addition operation; a second-stage local oscillator, to an oscillating frequency of which a frequency of said signal output from said second mid-frequency amplifier is added in said frequency addition operation at said third mixer; a band-pass filter for filtering and isolating the signal output from said third mixer; a fourth mixer for receiving the signal output from said band-pass filter and executing a frequency subtraction operation; and a third-stage local oscillator, from an oscillating frequency of which a frequency of said signal output from said band-pass filter is subtracted in said frequency subtraction operation at said fourth mixer to generate a better mid-band; and a high-pass filter for filtering noises from the signal output from said fourth mixer; and a multiplex adder for combining said two mid-bands separately generated at said first mid-frequency amplifier and said high-pass filter; whereby second and third harmonic differences between the oscillating frequencies of said second-stage and said third-stage local oscillator do not fall in band ranges of said two mid-bands, and an intermodulation interference is avoided.
