Abstract
A microwave frequency converting receiver of an RF unit should be generally used in wireless/mobile communications systems such as cellular, PCS, WLL and IMT2000 systems and also have low power consumption, low-noise characteristic, high gain and small size. In order to produce the above frequency converting receiver, a multi-band and multi-mode frequency converting receiver for use in a wireless mobile communications system comprises a wideband low-noise amplifier for amplifying a radio frequency input signal, a frequency mixer for generating an intermediate frequency signal having a relatively high linearity by mixing a local oscillator frequency signal and the amplified radio frequency signal outputted from the wideband low noise amplifier, an intermediate frequency amplifier for producing a final intermediate frequency signal by amplifying the intermediate frequency signal derived from the frequency mixer and an input matching circuit for receiving a microwave signal within a frequency band of the wireless mobile communications system, impedance-matching the received microwave signal to the radio frequency input signal of the wideband low-noise amplifier and determining an oper…
