<p>A signal combining device and method allows a mobile unit to use a single antenna to receive and transmit information in two or more frequency ranges. The combining device includes a first and second transmitting circuits and a first and second receiving circuits, which are connected to a matching device. The matching device, in turn, is connected to the antenna. The first transmitting circuit and the first receiving circuit are designed to transmit and receive, respectively, a digital signal, and the second transmitting circuit and the second receiving circuit are designed to transmit and receive, respectively, an analogue or a digital signal. By using the signal combining device it is possible to combine signals of different frequency bands, especially digital signals and analogue signals of different frequency bands. As such, the present invention allows for the use of a common antenna in a dual mode radio. The invention finds exemplary use in a cellular mobile radio communication system and/or a satellite radio communication system.</p> |
