CTY Jacksonville STA FL ABST PAL A method and system is described wherein a signal with a lower frequency is up-converted to a higher frequency. In one embodiment, the higher frequency signal is used as a stable frequency and phase reference. In another embodiment, the invention is used as a transmitter. The up-conversion is accomplished by controlling a switch with an oscillating signal, the frequency of the oscillating signal being selected as a sub-harmonic of the desired output frequency. When the invention is being used as a frequency or phase reference, the oscillating signal is not modulated, and controls a switch that is connected to a bias signal. When the invention is being used in the frequency modulation (FM) or phase modulation (PM) implementations, the oscillating signal is modulated by an information signal before it causes the switch to gate the bias signal. In the amplitude modulation implementation (AM), the oscillating signal is not modulated, but rather causes the switch to gate a reference signal that is substantially equal to or proportional to the information signal. In the FM and PM implementations, the signal that is output from the switch is modulated substantially the same as the modulated oscillating signal. In the AM implementation, the signal that is output from the switch has an amplitude that is a function of the information signal. In both embodiments, the output of the switch is filtered, and the desired harmonic is output.

Thruthseeker scoops business wire-> ParkerVision Receives Patent For Its Core D2D Transmitter Technology Unique Transmitter Architecture Applicable to Wide Range of Wireless Applications JACKSONVILLE, Fla., July 18 /PRNewswire/ -- ParkerVision, Inc. (Nasdaq: PRKR - news) received U.S. Patent 6,091,940, covering the fundamentals of its Direct2Data(TM) (D2D)(TM) direct conversion radio transmitter technology. ParkerVision is in the process of commercializing the technology, which the company believes marks an innovative breakthrough in cost-effective high- quality radios for wireless communications. The 940 patent issued by the United States Patent & Trademark Office contains 374 claims and cites over 600 references. It is part of ParkerVision's overall intellectual property strategy, which includes more than 70 other patents pending. The company continues to pursue the filing and protection of its patents in the United States and abroad. The patent covers a unique radio frequency (RF) transmitter architecture that provides efficient direct up-conversion in a single step from baseband information to a modulated on-channel RF carrier. The company's unique Direct2Data (D2D) transmitter architecture reduces the cost, power, and parts count by eliminating all the Intermediate Frequency (IF) components required in traditional widely deployed heterodyne-based transmitters. As with ParkerVision's Direct2Data receiver architecture, the D2D transmitter should enable high levels of integration in all semiconductor processes including standard CMOS. Jeffrey Parker, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, ``The architecture protected by this patent further positions ParkerVision to capitalize on the commercial potential of its D2D technology. We continue to believe D2D will have a dramatic impact on the wireless industry in terms of product enhancement and cost and power savings. Securing patent protection helps to reinforce our commercialization efforts as we continue the process of building shareholder value.'' David F. Sorrells, Chief Technical Officer and lead inventor of the technology, stated, ``The 940 patent is another important milestone for ParkerVision. It affirms the D2D technology for use in RF filters, receivers, and transmitters, which represent all of the basic building blocks of radio transceivers, both wireless and wired.'' ParkerVision, headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, designs, develops and manufactures communications technology platforms and products for the wireless and video industries.
