20130045704 | Receiver - Embodiments provide a receiver and a method for receiving data transmitted via a combination of a first signal modulated at a first carrier frequency, and a second signal modulated at a second carrier frequency, different to the first carrier frequency. | 02-21-2013 |
20130129024 | Methods of Receiving and Receivers - A receiver uses a local oscillator to receive data transmitted via a combination of radio frequency signals using carrier aggregation. Each radio frequency signal occupies a respective radio frequency band and the radio frequency bands are arranged in two groups, a first group and a second group, separated in frequency by a first frequency region, each of the groups including one or more radio frequency bands and the first group occupying a wider frequency region than the second group. The radio frequency signals are processed using the local oscillator by setting the local oscillator, during the processing, to a frequency that is offset from the centre of a band defined by outer edges of the frequency regions occupied by the two groups. | 05-23-2013 |
20130130635 | Method of Receiving and Receivers - Data is received that has been transmitted via a combination of radio frequency signals using carrier aggregation, each radio frequency signal occupying a respective radio frequency band, the bands being arranged in two groups separated in frequency by a first frequency region, the first of the two groups occupying a wider frequency region than the second group. Embodiments provide a method and apparatus for downcoverting the radio frequency signals using quadrature mixing to give inphase and quadrature components, and the inphase and quadrature components are filtered using a first bandpass filter bandwidth to give first bandpass filtered inphase and quadrature components and filtered using a second bandpass filter bandwidth, different from the first bandpass filter bandwidth, to give second bandpass filtered inphase and quadrature components. | 05-23-2013 |
20130130637 | Method of Receiving and Receivers - A receiver uses a local oscillator to receive data transmitted via a combination of radio frequency signals using carrier aggregation. Each radio frequency signal occupies a respective radio frequency band and the radio frequency hands are arranged in two groups, a first group and a second group, separated in frequency by a first frequency region, each of the groups including one or more radio frequency bands and the first group occupying a wider frequency region than the second group. The radio frequency signals are processed using the local oscillator by setting the local oscillator, during the processing, to a frequency that is offset from the centre of a band defined by outer edges of the frequency regions occupied by the two groups. | 05-23-2013 |
20130130638 | METHODS OF RECEIVING AND RECEIVERS - Data is received that has been transmitted via a combination of radio frequency signals using carrier aggregation, each radio frequency signal occupying a respective radio frequency band, the bands being arranged in two groups separated in frequency by a first frequency region, the first of the two groups occupying a wider frequency region than the second group. Inphase and quadrature components of the radio frequency signals are filtered using a first bandpass filter bandwidth to give first bandpass filtered components and filtered using a second bandpass filter bandwidth, different from the first bandpass filter bandwidth, to give second bandpass filtered components. A reconfigurable receiver is configurable to a first mode to receive the combination of radio frequency signals, and is also configurable to at least a second mode. At least one first filter is configured, in the first mode, to use a first bandpass filter bandwidth and, in the second mode, to use a lowpass filter bandwidth. At least one second filter is configured, in the first mode, to use a second bandpass filter bandwidth, different from the first bandpass filter bandwidth. | 05-23-2013 |
