- radio band resources in the same band and in different bands should be aggregated in both the uplink and the downlink and both adjacent and non-adjacent channels.
- the mobile receiving unit must therefore be able to receive two channels with variable frequency spacing at the same time.
- a channel is an area that may contain information that is separable from other areas that may also contain information.
- a channel is, for example, a frequency or a frequency band. Such a frequency band is characterized by being different from other frequency bands

- the amplified signals are applied to a first mixer 204 and a second mixer 205.
- the first mixer 204 uses the first local oscillator frequency 206 in phase

- the second code is preferably a combination of a second Walsh code and a second scrambling code.
- a second antenna 221 receives the signals which are filtered by a filter 222 and amplified by an amplifier 223.
- the amplified signal is mixed by a third mixer 224 and a fourth mixer 225.
- a second local oscillator frequency 226 is used, which essentially corresponds to the carrier frequency of the second signal sequence.
- the third mixer 224 uses the local oscillator frequency 226 in phase, while the fourth mixer 225 uses the 90 ° rotated local oscillator signal 226.
- the output of the third mixer 224 is filtered by the filter 228, amplified by the amplifier 230, and digitized by the A / D converter 232.
- the digitized signal is supplied to the signal evaluation device 240.

The prerequisite for this is the existence of two antennas and two receiving circuits. Furthermore, two different local oscillator frequencies 206, 226 are needed.
- FIG. 3 Another possibility proposed by the inventors of simultaneously receiving two channels with variable frequency spacing is shown in FIG. Components which have already been explained in connection with FIG. 2 bear the same reference numerals and will not be explained again below.
- the output of amplifier 303 is provided to first receiver circuitry 204-213 and to second receiver circuitry 224-233.
- the advantage of the architecture shown in FIG. 3 over the architecture shown in FIG. 2 is that in the receiver architecture of FIG. 3, only one antenna 301, one filter 302, and one amplifier 303 are needed.
- the receiver architecture shown in Figure 3 has the disadvantage that, by splitting the signal to the amplifier 303, the sensitivity of the receiver is reduced by at least 3 dB since only half the power is supplied to each receiver circuit 204-213, 224-233.

- this device there is the advantage that, compared with the embodiments shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, only one mixer and only one filter after the mixer are required. Since only one mixer is provided, only one local oscillator and thus only one local oscillator signal is necessary. In addition, only one antenna device is needed. By requiring fewer components, the circuit is simpler and less expensive to implement. Since fewer components are used, the power consumption is lower. In addition, space is saved. Furthermore, due to the lower number of components, less interference between components occurs. Especially the simultaneous operation of several local oscillators would bring technical challenges. For example, crosstalk would have to be prevented. In this device according to the invention, this technical challenge does not arise.
- the first and the second code as well as the linking function are selected such that the combination of the first signal sequence with the first code and the combination of the second signal sequence with the second code leads to a spread which is> 1 and / or the signals resulting therefrom essentially orthogonal are.

- This frequency corresponds to half the distance between the carrier frequency of the first signal sequence before the conversion and the carrier frequency of the second signal sequence before the conversion.
- the carrier frequency conversion mixer may use a frequency that is outside of a middle frequency range between the carrier frequency of the first signal sequence and the carrier frequency of the second signal sequence.

- the invention provides a simple and inexpensive device and a simple and cost-effective method for receiving signals, the signals comprising a first and a second signal sequence, of which the first signal sequence is linked to a first code and to a first Carrier frequency is modulated and the second signal sequence is linked to a second code and is modulated onto a second carrier frequency.
