Abstract

A communications transceiver includes a shared multi-band mixer. Various configurations of the shared multi-band mixer include using suitable hardware/software in the form of circuitry, logic gates, and/or code functions to combine multi-band processing of RF signal conversion within a single shared mixer. Various configurations include separate or shared tuning and/or amplification of up-converted (mixed) multi-band communication bands. The communications transceiver processes each band separately within the single shared mixer.
