A direct digital synthesis transmitter that uses a programmable digital circuit to generate a digital signal representing at least one radio frequency signal, the generated signal is filtered, amplified by an amplifier, and provided to a transmission antenna without upconversion. The transmitter generating the digital signal at a desired output frequency range such that a frequency upconverter is not needed to produce signals in the desired radio frequency range.

A method and transmission system for amplifying and providing navigation signals. The system comprises a splitter circuit configured to receive a plurality of radio frequency (RF) signals oscillating at at least two different frequencies f.sub.1 and f.sub.2. The splitter circuit is further configured to split and forward the RF signals having the f.sub.1 frequency to a first bandpass filter and the RF signals having the f.sub.2 frequency to a second bandpass filter. The system further comprises a first tunable amplifier configured to receive the RF signals from the first bandpass filter. The system further comprises a second tunable amplifier configured to receive the RF signals from the second bandpass filter at substantially the same time as the first tunable amplifier's receipt of the RF signals from the first bandpass filter. The first tunable amplifier is further configured to amplify its RF signals across a first band centered around the frequency f.sub.1. The second tunable amplifier is further configured to amplify its RF signals across a second band centered around the frequency f.sub.2. The amplified RF signals are fed substantially concurrently into a mixer circuit for transmission via an RF antenna to a navigation receiver.

A telecommunications system can include analog-to-digital converters in an uplink communication path or a downlink communication path. The analog-to-digital converters can have a high dynamic range and bandwidth to obviate a need for down-conversion of signals using an analog mixer. The uplink communication path and the downlink communication path can be coupled to an antenna using a non-duplexer coupling device. Uplink signals traversing the uplink communication path can be isolated from downlink signals independent of using a duplexer.

A method includes: receiving downlink signals at a head end unit of a distributed antenna system from at least one base station; processing the downlink signals into downlink channelized digital baseband signals at the head end unit by at least one of channel filtering, interpolating, and mixing with an oscillator, the downlink channelized digital baseband signals including call information for wireless communication; formatting the downlink channelized digital baseband signals for transport together at the head end unit; packetizing and packet scheduling the downlink channelized digital baseband signals into downlink packetized baseband signals at the head end unit; and transmitting the downlink packetized baseband signals from the head end unit to remotely located units of the distributed antenna system.

Described herein are systems configured for carrier aggregation. Systems include a multiplexing circuit having a filter assembly, switching circuit with a switching path, and a switchable impedance. The filters can be designed so that when operated simultaneously (e.g., during multi-band operation) the same inductance can be used allowing the switching network to switch in a particular inductance into the path. The described systems can include an inductance that is coupled to an output port so that when operating in single-band mode, the different paths share the same inductance. Relative to other solutions, the described systems can improve performance (e.g., reduce insertion loss), reduce the number of components in the associated module, reduce manufacturing costs, and the like.

The common-mode voltage control circuit is electrically connected to a node of the hybrid transceiving circuit and is configured to detect a common-mode voltage of the node and to adjust the common-mode voltage of the node.

A novel bi-directional vector modulator to be used as an active phase shifter is proposed. The advantages of the active phase shifter include: 1) Compact sizeBy active current combining technique, short transmission lines are used to perform signal combining rather than using area-consuming Wilkinson combiner or splitter; 2) High phase resolution and flexibilityphase interpolation can be performed by vector addition through m-path vector modulators; 3) High efficiencyno signal switch loss, only switched matching capacitor; 4) Simplified signal interconnection; 5) No passive combiner neededeliminate large size and losses in the passive combiner); 6) Can have unequal combining and/or splitting by changing the gain of vector modulator, which is difficult to realize with passive combining and/or splitting network; and 7) Can combine different signals.

A system and method are disclosed for selecting a sampling frequency in a system that performs bandpass sampling and uses a polyphase downconverter channelizer to receive multiple RF signals. The method accounts for the frequency location of the received signals throughout the signal reception process to simplify the overall processing. The procedure finds a sampling frequency that positions all or a subset of the sampled signals such that the sampled signals fall within the input channels of the polyphase downconverter channelizer, thus simplifying processing compared to prior art methods which address the bandpass sampling and polyphase downconverter channelizer components separately.

Devices and systems useful in concurrently receiving and transmitting Wi-Fi signals and Bluetooth signals in the same frequency band are provided. By way of example, an electronic device includes a transceiver configured to transmit data and to receive data over channels of a first wireless network and a second wireless network concurrently. The transceiver includes a plurality of filters configured to allow the transceiver to transmit the data and to receive the data in the same frequency band by reducing interference between signals of the first wireless network and the second wireless network.
