A CATV transceiver (12) is provided within an RF shield enclosure. The transceiver circuit includes a diplexer (36), having fixed value inductors, that is coupleable to a CATV cable plant to receive an RF input signal and to transmit an RF output signal. The RF receiver is coupled to the diplexer and includes a frequency up-converter (44), a first frequency down-converter (74) and a second frequency down-converter (78). The up- and first down-converters include voltage controlled oscillators that are responsive to a control signal generated from a single oscillator crystal (78). The second frequency down-converter operates to provide an output signal representative of the RF signal within a predetermined output frequency pass-band. The RF transmitter is also coupled to the diplexer and provides for the transmission of the RF output signal in response to an input signal. A transceiver controller is coupled through the housing to the up- and first down-converters to establish respective modulation frequencies such that the LO-related frequency cross-products due to the concurrent use of the respective modulation frequencies occur outside of the predetermined frequency pass-band.
