Transceiver arrangement and method for processing a signal

摘要

A transceiver arrangement includes a first receive path including a first connection and a first receive amplifier, and a second receive path including a second connection, a second receive amplifier, and a frequency conversion device. The transceiver also includes a controllable coupling device configured to couple an output of the first receive amplifier to an input of the frequency conversion device on the second signal path, and a control circuit configured to provide a control signal to the coupling device for selectively combining signals delivered by the first and second receive amplifiers in the correct phase based on a parameter which is derived from a signal present at the first connection or second connection, or both. The parameter derived from the received signal represents whether a signal strength of the received signal or a signal quality of the received signal exceeds a first predetermined threshold.

1. A transceiver arrangement, comprising:
a first receive path comprising a first connection and a first receive amplifier; a second receive path comprising a second connection, a second receive amplifier, and a frequency conversion device; a controllable coupling device configured to couple an output of the first receive amplifier to an input of the frequency conversion device on the second signal path; and a control circuit configured to provide a control signal to the coupling device for selectively combining signals delivered by the first and second receive amplifiers in the correct phase based on a parameter which is derived from a signal present at the first connection or second connection, or both, wherein the signals are selectively combined prior to the frequency conversion device; and wherein the parameter derived from the received signal represents whether a signal strength of the received signal or a signal quality of the received signal exceeds a first predetermined threshold.
