Patent ID: 8374570

Claim:
A receiver comprising: a filter having an input coupled to an RF input, and a filtered output; an oscillator operable to generate a control signal; and a harmonic reject down converter operable to receive the filtered output and the control signal, wherein the harmonic rejection down converter comprises: an LO generator operable to generate a plurality of phase shifted LO signals based on the control signal, wherein the control signal comprises a plurality of transitions during a period of each phase shifted LO signal, wherein each of the plurality of phase shifted LO signals is generated according to a respective transition of the plurality of transitions of the control signal; a plurality of mixers, each mixer in the plurality of mixers receiving the filtered output and being driven according to a phase shifted LO signal in the plurality of phase shifted LO signals; and a combiner operable to receive outputs from the plurality of mixers and provide a quadrature intermediate frequency (IF) output and an in-phase IF output.
