Transmitter/receiver for transmitting and receiving of an RF signal in two frequency bands
First Claim
1. A direct conversion transmitter/receiver which operates in two separate frequency bands, and in which the first frequency band comprises a first transmitting frequency band and a first receiving frequency band and the second frequency band comprises a second transmitting frequency band and a second receiving frequency band, and in whichsaid receiver comprises at least one RX mixer for mixing a received signal into a baseband signal,said transmitter comprises at least one TX mixer for mixing a baseband signal into a carrier frequency transmitting signal, andthe transmitter/receiver comprises synthesizer means (340) which outputs a synthesized signal for forming a first RX mixing signal (RXM1) to the RX mixer for mixing the signal (RXC1) received in the first receiving frequency band into a baseband signal (RXB1) and for forming a first TX mixing signal (TXM1) to the TX mixer (362, 382) for mixing the first baseband TX signal (TXB1) into the first carrier frequency TX signal (TXC1) which is in the first transmitting frequency band,wherein the transmitter/receiver comprises additionally:
- a first conversion means (311) for forming a second RX mixing signal (RXM2) from the synthesized signal for mixing the signal received in the second receiving frequency band into a second baseband RX signal (RXB2), anda second conversion means (361) for forming a second TX mixing signal (TXM2) from the synthesized signal for mixing the second baseband TX signal (TXB2) into a second carrier frequency signal (TXC2) which is in the second transmitting frequency band.

Abstract
The object of the invention is a transmitter/receiver for transmitting and receiving of an RF signal in two frequency bands. In the solution according to the invention, a transmitter/receiver is used which is based on direct conversion and in it, when operating in both frequency bands, the mixing frequency is formed by means of the same synthesizer (340). This is implemented preferably in such a way that in the higher operating frequency, the frequency of the output signal of the synthesizer is used as such as a mixing frequency and when operating in the lower operating frequency, a mixing frequency is used which is obtained by dividing the frequency of the output signal of the synthesizer by two or a larger integer in the divider (311, 361). When the solution according to the invention is used, many synthesizers are not needed in the transmitter/receiver and no intermediate frequency components are needed.
