Transceiver arrangement

摘要

An arrangement for a transmitter and/or receiver which is adapted to allow carrier aggregation in a wireless communication system, comprising a plurality of radio frequency (RF) blocks, each of which is inherently adapted to operate substantially across (in the region of) one of the particular groups of frequency ranges. The number of groups may be 5 or less.

1. An arrangement for a receiver which is adapted to allow carrier aggregation in a wireless communication system, comprising a plurality of radio frequency (RF) blocks, each of which is inherently adapted to operate substantially across one of the following particular groups of frequency ranges, in MHz, of:
A) 698-960; B) 1428-1660; C) 1710-2200; D) 2300-2690; E) 3400-3800; the arrangement being adapted to operate in a multiple antennas and/or a multiple input/multiple output (MIMO) system, wherein, for each channel/antenna, there are provided two RF amplifiers adapted for group A, one RF amplifier adapted for group C and one RF amplifier adapted for group D, the arrangement further adapted to operate over two channels of a MIMO system, and having an input and/or output to the respective antenna of each channel; wherein for each channel there is a first multiplexer to multiplex the output from one of the RF amplifiers adapted for group A, with the output from the RF amplifier adapted for group C, and a second multiplexer to multiplex the output from the other group A adapted amplifier with the output from the group C adapted amplifier and the output from the group D adapted amplifier.
