More particularly, embodiments of the present invention may relate to a wireless receiver and a wireless receiving method thereof wherein an external element may be integrated using a substantially zero intermediate frequency QF) or a substantially low IF. This may make the wireless receiver compatible with an super-heterodyne interface.
- an external element may be integrated using a substantially zero intermediate frequency QF) or a substantially low IF. This may make the wireless receiver compatible with an super-heterodyne interface.
- FIG. 1 is a diagram of a wireless communication system according to an example arrangement. Other arrangements are also possible. As shown in FIG. 1, a signal generated by a transmitter 100 may be spread in the air and transmitted to a receiver 200. Many other noises and signals may be transmitted in the air by other people.
- the transmitter 100 may send a signal of a proper electric power so that the receiver 200 can receive the transmitted signal.
- the transmitter 100 may not emit any frequency components except the frequency used in the transmitter 100.
- the transmitter 100 may send the signals without interference among them.
- the receiver 200 may amplify electric power of a weak signal transmitted from the transmitter 100 and prevent other noises in the air. Also, when using various frequency channels, the receiver 200 may select only the required channel.
- the receiver 200 may operate based on a superheterodyne method using an intermediate frequency (IF).
- IF intermediate frequency
- the superheterodyne method may be a method in which a carrier frequency is not directly converted into a baseband frequency but rather may be processed after it is converted into a certain frequency in a middle of the process.
- FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a superheterodyne receiver according to an example arrangement. Other arrangements are also possible. As shown in FIG. 2, the receiver
- the 200 may include an antenna 210, a band select filter 220, a low-noise amplifier (LNA) 230, an image reject filter 240, a down-mixer 250, a channel select filter 280 and an IF processor 280.
- the antenna 280 may receive a radio frequency (RF) signal.
- the band select filter 220 may filter a signal in a particular band and the low-noise amplifier 230 may amplify a signal while preventing noise amplification.
- the image reject filter 240 may prevent an image frequency from being transmitted to the mixer 250.
- the down- mixer 250 may convert a low-noise amplified RF signal into an IF signal.
- the channel select filter 280 may select a particular channel from the signal converted into the IF.
- the IF processor 290 may process the IF signal in the selected channel.
- the down-mixer 250 may mix the RF signal with an oscillating frequency fLo inputted from a local oscillator 260, thereby converting the RF signal into the IF signal.
- the oscillating frequency fLo may be stabilized by a phase-locked loop (PLL) 270.
- FIG. 3 shows graphs illustrating a frequency conversion process according to an example arrangement. Other arrangements are also possible.
- This frequency conversion process may include converting the low-noise amplified RF into an IF in the receiver as described in FIG. 2.
- FIG. 3 shows a center frequency of a carrier as fc, and there exist spectra of a RF signal centering on fc. If such a RF signal is mixed with fLo oscillated from the local oscillator 260, and down-converted, the RF signal may be converted into the IF signal having a center frequency fiF-
- the IFs may be different depending on the type of wireless communication equipment. For example, a radio may use an IF of 10.7 MHz, a television may use an IF of 45 MHz and satellite equipment may use an IF of 160MHz.
- the baseband signal carried in the original carrier wave may be extracted.
- An analog process may be implemented from another end of the IF processor 290.
- a digital process may also be implemented by converting an analog signal into a digital signal from the other end of the IF processor 290.
- the wireless communication receiver may use a superheterodyne method in which a RF signal is not directly converted into a baseband signal but rather is down-converted into the baseband signal after it is converted into an IF.
- an IF processor may be provided between a RF processor and a baseband processor, thereby preventing various frequency fluctuations or abnormalities of the RF processor from being transmitted to the baseband processor.
- an IF signal is not used before a RF signal is inputted to a baseband processor, all the signals may be amplified in an RF signal. However, if this amplification process is concentrated on a part of a system, the system may become unstable.
- a system next to the terminal of an IF processor may be used in common although a carrier frequency may be different, thus enabling economic designing of a receiver.
- An image frequency (i.e., an image signal) may be a signal located symmetrically with a RF signal required to receive, centering on fLo, which is an oscillating frequency of a local oscillator. Also, the image frequency may cause a receiver a critical result by directly disturbing an IF signal. Therefore, in order to remove the image frequency in a superheterodyne receiver, a separate image reject filter 240 may be provided at a front terminal of the down-mixer 250 to remove the image frequency being input to the mixer 250.
- a surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter or a ceramic filter used in the above- described superheterodyne receiver may be an ideal filter available for attenuating blocking signals except for particular signals, but it may be practically very difficult to embody an integrated filter with such characteristics.
- SAW surface acoustic wave
- the performance of integrated filters has been improved as much as it can as compared with surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters.
- SAW surface acoustic wave
- LPFs low-pass filters
- BPFs band-pass filters
- the quality factor of BPFs which may be required for filtering an IF signal, may be very high, while it is very complex and uneconomic to implement quality factor of more than two (2) with integrated filters.
- a new approach may integrate external elements of a wireless receiver.

More specifically FIG. 4 shows mat the integrated receiver may include an antenna 410, a band select filter 420, a low-noise amplifier (LNA) 430, down-mixers 440a and 440b, channel select filters 460a and 460b, automatic gain controller (AGC) 465a and 465b, up-mixers 470a and 470b, an adder 483, a low pass filter (LPF) 485, and an IF processor 490.
- LNA low-noise amplifier
- the antenna 410 may receive a RF signal.
- the band select filter 420 may selectively filter only the frequency of a required band in the received RF signal.
- the low-noise amplifier (LNA) 430 may amplify a signal of die required frequency band.
- the down-mixers 440a and 440b may down-convert a frequency into a substantially zero IF or a substantially low IF.
- the channel select filters 460a and 460b may select a required channel.
- the automatic gain control (AGCs) 465a and 465b may control a gain of the channel selected signal.
- the up-mixers 470a and 470b may up- convert a frequency and the adder 483 may add an in-phase (I) channel signal and a quadrature (Q) channel signal.
- the low pass filter (LPF) 485 may filter a signal except for a required IF signal, and the IF processor 490 may process the filtered IF signal.
- the receiver 400 may include a first local oscillator 450 and a first phase-locked loop (PLL) 455 oscillating a reference frequency signal fi in order to down-convert the frequency of an inputted RF signal.
- the receiver 400 may also include an I/ Q generator 445 generating an I channel signal and a Q channel signal.

- the receiver 400 may additionally include an I/ Q generator 473 generating an I channel signal and a Q channel signal.
- the elements may be integrated.
- the band select filter 420 may filter received signals by selectively passing a required frequency band signal from the signal received from the antenna 410. When using several channels, all the channels may pass through the filter 420 and in case of transmitting and receiving a signal with the same antenna 410, a duplexer (not shown) may be included to replace the function of die band select filter 420.
- the LNA 430 may amplify the received RF signal and prevent noise in the RF signal in which noises in the air are incoming together.
- the down-mixers 440a and 440b may down-convert the frequency of an inputted RF signal based on the reference frequency fi oscillated from the first local oscillator 450.
- the frequency oscillated from the first local oscillator 450 may be the same as or substantially the same as the RF signal. Therefore, the down-converted frequency may become a substantially zero IF or a substantially low IF.

- the channel select filters 460a and 460b may selectively filter only the required channel from signals whose frequency is down-converted. Since the signal whose frequency is down-converted is a substantially zero IF or a substantially low IF, these features may be implemented by a filter having a low quality factor. In other words, the quality factor may be defined as a ratio of a center frequency and a pass bandwidth. Since the signals whose frequency is down-converted by the down-mixers 440a and 440b have a much lower center frequency, it may be possible to sufficiently filter the required channel with the filter having a low quality factor and to implement such channel select filters 460a and 460b with an integrated filter.

- DAC digital-to-analog converter
- the digital mixer may be used as the up-mixers 470a and 470b, thereby improving quality of linearity and dynamic range.
- the reference frequency oscillated from the second local oscillator 475 may be the same as or substantially the same as an input frequency for the IF processor 490.
- the up-mixers 470a and 470b may up- convert a substantially zero IF signal or a substantially low IF signal into an IF signal having the frequency of 10.7 MHz.
- the I/Q generator 473 may divide the signal oscillated from the second local oscillator 475 into an I channel signal and a Q channel signal by giving it a phase difference of 90°, and then provide the signals for each up-mixer 470a and 470b.
- the I channel signal and the Q channel signal of which the frequency is up- converted by the up-mixers 470a and 470b may be added by the adder 483 and then input to the LPF 485.

- An analog process may be implemented from the other end of the IF processor 490.
- a digital process may also be implemented by converting an analog signal into a digital signal from the other end of the IF processor 490.
- FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing processing the RF signal received by the integrated receiver of FIG. 4 according to an example embodiment of the present invention. Other embodiments, operations and orders of operation are also within the scope of the present invention.
- the band select filter 420 may selectively pass only the required frequency band (S510, S520). For instance, since a Bluetooth receiver uses the frequency of 2.4 GHz as a carrier frequency, the band select filter 420 may selectively filter the frequency near the band of 2.4 GHz.
- the band-pass-filtered RF signal may be low-noise amplified by the LNA 430, and its frequency may be down-converted by the down-mixers 440a and 440b (S530, S540).
- the oscillating frequency for down-converting frequency may be the same as (or substantially the same) as the inputted RF signal so that the converted frequency becomes a substantially zero IF.
- a Bluetooth receiver may use the oscillating frequency of 2.4 GHz so that the center frequency of the signal converted by the down-mixers 440a and 440b becomes zero.
- FIG. 6 shows graphs illustrating the process of down-converting a RF signal into a substantially zero IF signal according to an example embodiment of the present invention. Other embodiments are also within the scope of the present invention. More specifically, FIG. 6 shows that a frequency fLo, which is the same as the center frequency fc of the RF signal, is oscillated such that the center frequency of the down- converted spectra corresponds with a substantially zero frequency. If the zero IF is used in this way, only the image frequency for its own signal is considered, and no separate image reject filter may be needed.
- a frequency fLo which is the same as the center frequency fc of the RF signal
- a direct current (DC) offset that may occur when the zero IF is used may be resolved by a direct conversion technology (i.e., not using an IF signal but directly converting a RF signal into a baseband signal).
- a direct conversion technology i.e., not using an IF signal but directly converting a RF signal into a baseband signal.
- GSM Global System for Mobile Communications
- the DC offset may be resolved by discharging DC electric charges during the time when communication is not kept.
- LAN wireless local area network

- the channel select filters 460a and 460b may filter only a required channel with an integrated filter having a low quality factor for the signal whose frequency is down- converted into a substantially zero IF. As described above, the filter having a low quality factor may filter only the required channel in a low frequency band (S550).
- the automatic gain controllers 465a and 465b may amplify the channel-select filtered signal with a proper gain, and the frequency of the amplified signal may be up- converted by the up-mixers 470a and 470b (S560, S570).
- the second local oscillator 475 may oscillate the required frequency, and the second phase-locked loop 480 may securely lock the oscillating frequency of the second local oscillator 475.
- the frequency oscillated from the second local oscillator 475 may be changed in accordance with the process of the IF processor 490.
- the second local oscillator 475 may oscillate the frequency of 10.7 MHz in a same way as the operational frequency of the radio receiver, and then the frequency of a substantially zero IF signal may be up- converted into the frequency of 10.7 MHz by the up-mixers 470a and 470b to which the oscillating frequency of 10.7 MHz is inputted.
- An IMD signal in the signal whose frequency is up-converted into an IF may be removed by the LPF 485 and then the signal in which the IMD signal is removed may be inputted to the IF processor 490 (S580, S590). Since the process of the signal inputted to the IF processor 490 may be the same as that of the above-described superheterodyne method, a further description -will not be provided.
- the received RF signal may be converted into a substantially low IF, not a substantially zero IF for processing.
- a substantially low IF for processing.
- wireless application such as Personal Handyphone System (PHS), Bluetooth or the like
- PHS Personal Handyphone System
- Bluetooth there may be no blocking signal in a frequency channel adjacent to a required channel, an image frequency may be left out of consideration even though the received RF signal is converted into a substantially low IF.
- FIG. 7 shows graphs illustrating the process of converting a RF signal into a low IF signal according to an example embodiment of the present invention. Another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the flow chart in FIG. 5. Other embodiments and configurations are also with the scope of the present invention.
- the band select filter 420 may selectively pass only a required frequency band (S510, S520). For example, since a PHS terminal may use the frequency of 1.9 GHz as a carrier frequency, the band select filter 420 may filter only the frequency near the band of 1.9 GHz.
- the band-pass-filtered RF signal may be low-noise amplified by the LNA 430 and then down-converted by the down-mixers 440a and 440b (S530, S540).
- the oscillating frequency for down-converting may be approximate to a center frequency of the received RF signal so that the frequency down-converted becomes a substantially low IF.
- the channel select filters 460a and 460b may have the required channel by filtering a signal whose frequency is down-converted into a substantially low IF with an integrated filter having a low quality factor.
- the automatic gain controllers 465a and 465b may amplify the signal filtered by the channel select filter with an appropriate gain (S550, S560).
- the frequency of the amplified signal may be up-converted again by the up-mixers 470a and 470b, and the frequency oscillated from the second local oscillator 475 when up- converting may depend on the input frequency required by the IF processor 490 (S570).
- the IMD generated when up-converting the frequency may be removed by the LPF 485, and the IF signal whose frequency is up-converted may be inputted to the IF processor and then processed (S580, S590).
- a received RF signal may be converted into a substantially zero IF or a low IF and then filtered, thereby satisfying the performance of a receiver required as a filter having a low quality factor.
- a filter having a low quality factor may be implemented as an integrated filter, thereby enabling a receiver to become much smaller and lighter and reduce its production cost.
- An integrated filter may easily be changed based on its required specification and performance.
- a substantially zero IF or a substantially low IF may be used, thereby having an advantage that a separate image reject filter may not be needed in order to remove the image frequency.
- a RF signal may be down-converted into a substantially zero IF signal or a substantially low IF signal and then up-converted again into a required IF signal.
- the input and output may be the same as the super-heterodyne system, thereby making the wireless receiver compatible with the super-heterodyne interface.
