Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing transceiver and method of operating the same
First Claim
1. For use in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transceiver, a multimode local oscillator circuit, comprising:
- a single sideband mixer having an output, first and second inputs and a local oscillator input; and
a signal generator, coupled to said single sideband mixer, for alternatively providing to said first and second inputs;
constant values to cause said single sideband mixer to generate a first receiver local oscillator signal for operating said OFDM transceiver as a zero intermediate frequency receiver, and a first orthogonal baseband signal to cause said single sideband mixer to generate a second receiver local oscillator signal for operating said OFDM transceiver as a low intermediate frequency receiver.

Abstract
For use in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transceiver, a multimode local oscillator circuit and a method of operating the same. In one embodiment, the circuit includes: (1) a single sideband mixer having an output, first and second inputs and a local oscillator input and (2) a signal generator, coupled to the single sideband mixer, for alternatively providing to the first and second inputs: (2a) constant values to cause the single sideband mixer to generate a first receiver local oscillator signal for operating the OFDM transceiver as a zero intermediate frequency receiver and (2b) a first orthogonal baseband signal to cause the single sideband mixer to generate a second receiver local oscillator signal for operating the OFDM transceiver as a low intermediate frequency receiver.
