Patent ID: 8565711

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; an RF to intermediate frequency (IF) receiver section that includes: a mixing module operable to convert the inbound RF signal into an in-phase (I) mixed signal and a quadrature (Q) mixed signal; a mixed buffer section operable to: filter and buffer the I mixed signal to produce an IF I signal; filter and buffer the Q mixed signal to produce an IF Q signal; a frequency translated bandpass filter (FTBPF) circuit module operable to frequency translate a baseband filter response to an IF filter response such that the FTBPF circuit module filters undesired signal components of the IF I signal and the IF Q signal to produce an inbound IF signal; and a receiver IF to baseband section operable to convert the inbound IF signal into one or more inbound symbol streams.
