Method and system for a distributed transceiver for high frequency applications
First Claim
1. A method for processing communication signals, the method comprising:
- generating a second signal from a first signal by;
frequency-translating said first signal via a plurality of conversion stages, wherein;
each of said plurality of conversion stages frequency-translates a corresponding input signal by a local oscillator frequency or by a fraction of said local oscillator frequency; and
said first signal is said corresponding input signal to an initial stage of a said plurality of conversion stages, an output signal of a previous one of said plurality of conversion stages is said corresponding input signal to a subsequent one of said plurality of conversion stages, and said second signal is an output signal of a final stage of said plurality of conversion stages.

Abstract
Aspects of a method and system for a distributed transceiver for high frequency applications may include generating a second signal from a first signal by frequency-translating the first signal via a plurality of conversion stages. Each of the plurality of conversion stages may frequency-translate a corresponding input signal by a local oscillator frequency or by a fraction of said local oscillator frequency. The first signal may be the corresponding input signal to an initial stage of a the plurality of conversion stages, an output signal of a previous one of the plurality of conversion stages may be the corresponding input signal to a subsequent one of the plurality of conversion stages, and the second signal may be an output signal of a final stage of the plurality of conversion stages.
