Wide bandwidth transceiver
First Claim
1. A wide bandwidth transceiver comprises:
- receiver section that includes;
first receiver intermediate frequency (IF) stage operably coupled to convert a first inbound radio frequency (RF) signal into a first inbound IF signal based on a first local oscillation;
receiver switching module operably coupled to pass one of the first inbound IF signal and a second inbound RF signal to produce a selected inbound signal, wherein frequency of the second inbound RF signal is substantially equal to the first inbound IF signal and wherein the frequency of the second inbound RF signal is less than frequency of the first inbound RF signal; and
second receiver IF stage operably coupled to convert the selected inbound signal into an inbound low IF signal based on a second location oscillation;
transmitter section that includes;
first transmitter IF stage operably coupled to convert an outbound low IF signal into a first outbound RF signal based on the second local oscillation;
second transmitter IF stage, when operably coupled, converts the first outbound RF signal into a second outbound RF signal based on the first location oscillation;
power amplifier operably coupled to amplifier a selected outbound RF signal; and
transmitter switching module operably coupled to provide one of the first outbound RF signal and the second outbound RF signal to the power amplifier as the selected outbound RF signal;
local oscillation module operably coupled to produce the first and second local oscillations.

Abstract
The wide bandwidth transceiver includes a receiver section, a transmitter section, and a local oscillation module. The receiver section includes a 1st receiver intermediate frequency (IF) stage, a receiver switch module, and a 2nd receiver IF stage. The 1st receiver IF stage is operably coupled to convert a 1st inbound radio frequency (RF) signal into a 1st inbound IF signal based on a 1st local oscillation of the local oscillation module. The receiver switch module passes either the 1st inbound IF signal or a 2nd inbound RF signal, which have similar carrier frequencies, to the 2nd receiver IF stage. The 2nd receiver IF stage receives the selected signal from the receiver switch module and based on a 2nd local oscillation converts the selected signal into a low intermediate frequency signal. The transmitter section includes a 1st transmitter intermediate frequency (IF) stage, a 2nd transmitter IF stage, a power amplifier and a transmitter switch module. The 1st transmitter IF stage is operably coupled to convert an outbound low IF signal into a 1st outbound radio frequency (RF) signal based on the 2nd oscillation. The 2nd transmitter IF stage, when operably coupled, converts the 1st outbound RF signal into a 2nd outbound RF signal based on the 1st local oscillation. The transmitter switching module couples either the 1st outbound RF signal or the 2nd outbound RF signal to the power amplifier.
