Abstract:
A communications terminal having a receiver and a method therefor is provided that substantially removes a known interferer from a digitally translated intermediate frequency signal. More specifically, the receiver includes an antenna for receiving a signal, and at least one combination of a mixer and filter for translating in the analog domain the signal to the intermediate frequency signal while maintaining separation from baseband. The receiver also includes a digitizer for digitally translating the intermediate frequency signal containing the known interferer from the analog domain into the digital domain, and an interference cancellation system for removing the known interferer from the digitally translated intermediate frequency signal by utilizing either a DC offset compensator or a correlator compensator.
Abstract:
A multiple-mode receiver incorporating direct conversion (processing received signals using intermediate frequencies within the same frequency range as the received signal bandwidth) rather than superheterodyne circuitry, allowing receiver hardware components to be re-used rather than replicated for each band. Various embodiments are disclosed in which low pass filters, mixers, quadrature generators, oscillators, and amplifiers are re-used.

Abstract:
Testing radio equipment is described wherein an interfering signal is swept in frequency with a step size that is chosen proportional to the bandwidth of the receive channel of the radio equipment. For example, a respective frequency bandwidth (BCh) is determined (601) of a plurality of receive channels of the radio equipment. A proportionality constant is selected (603) for a frequency step size. For each respective receive channel, interfering radio signals are generated (605) and the interfering radio signals are controlled to stepwise sweep in frequency outside of each respective receive channel. The stepwise sweeping of the interfering frequency is performed with a frequency step size that is a product of the respective bandwidth and the selected proportionality constant. Any spurious response is detected (607) in the respective receive channel.
