Abstract:
Multi-channel communication devices and methods are provided, which employ a filter bank, connected between antenna(s) and wideband converter(s), that comprises many narrowband surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters having respective distinct frequency bands within a bandwidth of the wideband converter(s). For example, devices may be configured as multi-channel receivers with SAW filters replacing current heterodyne circuitry and achieving effective separation of reception channel and effective attenuation of adjacent blocking signals in a compact device. In other examples, devices may be configured as multi-channel transmitters and/or transceivers, possibly having a variable number of channels, to realize compact multi-channel radio.

Claim (Index 4):
The multi-channel communication device of  claim 1 , configured as a transceiver, wherein the at least one wideband converter comprises an analog to digital converter (ADC) and a digital to analog converter (DAC), the at least one antenna is configured to receive and transmit radiofrequency (RF) radiation within a specified frequency band that at least partly overlaps the frequency bands of the SAW filters and the bandwidths of ADC and the DAC, and wherein the transceiver is configured to deliver a plurality of reception channels to a processing unit, the reception channels corresponding to at least some of the SAW filter frequency bands and being converted by the ADC, and to deliver a plurality of transmission channels from the processing unit, the transmission channels corresponding to at least some of the SAW filter frequency bands and being converted by the DAC.
