Abstract
Method and transceiver arrangements for reducing a leakage signal's impact on a receiver part 320 of the transceiver arrangement 300. The leakage signal originates from a transmitter part 310 of the transceiver arrangement 300. The radio base station is adapted to communicate in a Time Division Duplex, TDD mode in a cellular network. The method comprises frequency shifting 402, by the transmitter part 310, a downlink, DL, baseband by an offset frequency, fc, the DL baseband comprising DL data. Furthermore, the method comprises to mixing 404, by the transmitter part (310), the frequency shifted DL baseband with a Transmitter Local Oscillator, TX LO, frequency, fLO to produce a DL signal spectrum. The offset frequency, fc, and the TX LO frequency fLO is selected such that fLO=fDL−fc, or fLO=fDL+fc where fDL is the center frequency of the DL signal spectrum, such that the TX LO leakage signal reaching 408 the receiver part 320 is located outside, or on an edge of a UL signal spectrum when received by the receiver part 320. By frequency shifting an output frequency of a transmitter local oscillator with an offset frequency, and frequency shifting a transmitter baseband with the offset …
