Patent ID: 7583650

Claim:
Transceiver comprising: a receiver that is arranged to simultaneously receive at least a first radio frequency signal having a first frequency band and a second radio frequency signal having a second frequency band that is at least partly overlapping the first frequency band, the receiver comprising: signal conversion means for frequency down-converting the at least first and second radio frequency signals to at least a first and a second lower frequency signal; and multiplexing means for sequentially multiplexing the at least first and second lower frequency signals into a frequency multiplexed signal; and a transmitter that is arranged to simultaneously transmit at least a third radio frequency signal having a third frequency band and a fourth radio frequency signal having a fourth frequency band that is at least partly overlapping the third frequency band, the transmitter comprising: signal multiplexing means for sequentially multiplexing at least a third and a second signal into a frequency multiplexed signal; demultiplexing means for demultiplexing the frequency multiplexed signal into at least a third and a fourth lower frequency signal; and frequency up-converting means for frequency up-converting the third lower frequency signal into the third radio frequency signal and for frequency up-converting the fourth lower frequency signal into the fourth radio frequency signal.
