Abstract:
A signal conversion apparatus includes first and second input ports and first and second output ports. A first splitter is coupled to convert a first single-ended signal received on the first input port into a differential signal including first and second opposite-phase components, and to provide the first and second opposite-phase components respectively on the first and second output ports. A second splitter is separate from the first splitter and is coupled to convert a second single-ended signal received on the second input port into a common-mode signal including first and second in-phase components, and to provide the first and second in-phase components respectively on the first and second output ports together with the first and second opposite-phase components.

Claim (Index 41):
A signal conversion method, comprising:\n using a first splitter to convert a radio frequency (RF) input signal into a first output signal and a second output signal, wherein the first output signal is out of phase with the second output signal; using a second splitter to convert a local oscillator (LO) input signal into a third output signal and a fourth output signal, wherein the third output signal is in phase with the fourth output signal; delaying the first output signal and the second output signal by a first delay, wherein the first delay is configured according to a frequency band comprising the LO input signal; delaying the third output signal and the fourth output signal by a second delay, wherein the second delay is configured according to a frequency band comprising the RF input signal; providing a sum of the delayed first output signal and a harmonic of the delayed third output signal on a first port, wherein the harmonic of the delayed third output signal is at a different frequency than the third output signal; and providing a sum of the delayed third output signal and a harmonic of the delayed fourth output signal on a second port, wherein the harmonic of the delayed fourth output signal is at a different frequency than the fourth output signal.
