Systems and methods for multi-channel transceiver communications
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a first transceiver module comprising;
a filter module configured to receive a multicarrier transmit signal over a cable from a modulation module of a second transceiver module and filter each carrier signal of the multicarrier transmit signal with a different bandpass filter of a plurality of bandpass filters, each bandpass filter of the plurality of bandpass filters configured to filter a different frequency band, wherein insertion loss associated with receiving the multicarrier transmit signal over the cable causes unused carriers of the multicarrier transmit signal to include thermal noise;
a carrier control module configured to receive a carrier selection signal and control the plurality of bandpass filters of the filter module using the carrier selection signal to enable or disable each bandpass filter of the plurality of bandpass filters thereby coupling carrier signals of the multicarrier transmit signal to a first set of bandpass filters and decoupling a second set of bandpass filters, filtering the carrier signals of the multicarrier transmit signal being performed by the first set of bandpass filters while the decoupling of the second set of bandpass filters limits energy in a respective frequency band and attenuates the thermal noise of the unused carriers of the multicarrier transmit signal received over the cable; and
an antenna configured to transmit the filtered carrier signals of the multicarrier transmit signal.

Abstract
Systems and methods for transceiver communication are discussed herein. A filter module may be configured to filter each carrier signal of a multicarrier transmit signal with a different bandpass filter, each bandpass filter configured to filter a different frequency band. A carrier control module may be configured to control the plurality of bandpass filters of the filter module using a carrier selection signal to enable or disable each bandpass filter, thereby coupling carrier signals of the multicarrier transmit signal to a first set of bandpass filters and decoupling a second set of bandpass filters. Filtering the carrier signals of the multicarrier transmit signal is performed by the first set of bandpass filters while the decoupling of the second set of bandpass filters limits energy in the respective frequency band. An antenna may be configured to transmit the filtered multicarrier transmit signal.

8. A method comprising:
-
receiving, at a first transceiver, a carrier selection signal; controlling, at the first transceiver, a plurality of bandpass filters of a filter module using the carrier selection signal to enable or disable each bandpass filter of the plurality of bandpass filters, each bandpass filter of the plurality of bandpass filters configured to filter a different frequency band; receiving, at the first transceiver, a multicarrier transmit signal over a cable from a modulation module of a second transceiver, wherein insertion loss associated with receiving the multicarrier transmit signal over the cable causes unused carriers of the multicarrier transmit signal to include thermal noise; and filtering each carrier signal of the multicarrier transmit signal with a different bandpass filter of the plurality of bandpass filters, disabled bandpass filters limiting energy of the multicarrier transmit signal in a respective frequency band; transmitting, by an antenna, the filtered carrier signals of the multicarrier transmit signal; wherein controlling the plurality of bandpass filters of the filter module using the carrier selection signal to disable bandpass filters results in attenuation of the thermal noise by enabled bandpass filters. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
