In house reception of transmission signals compliant to a standard specification for mobile phone

A telecommunications system comprising:

• a receiver arrangement for receiving a wirelessly transmitted HF transmission signal, the receiver arrangement comprising:
• a first conversion unit for converting the HF transmission signal into a baseband information signal;
• an extraction unit for extracting IQ data from the baseband information signal;
• a second conversion unit for converting the IQ data into a further transmission signal;
• and
• a transmitter for wirelessly transmitting the further transmission signal to a consumer electronics receiver unit;
• and
• the consumer electronics receiver unit, which receives the further transmission signal, the consumer electronics receiver unit comprising:
• a first antenna arrangement for receiving the HF transmission signal;
• a first signal processing stage for converting the HF transmission signal into IQ data contained in the HF transmission signal;
• a second signal processing stage for transforming the IQ data into an output information signal of the consumer electronics receiver unit;
• a second antenna arrangement for receiving the further transmission signal transmitted by the receiver arrangement;
• a third signal processing stage for converting the further transmission signal into the IQ data;
• and
• a switching unit comprising:
• a first input coupled to an output of the first signal processing stage;
• a second input coupled to an output of the third signal processing stage;
• and
• an output coupled to an input of the second signal processing stage.

A consumer electronics receiver unit comprising:

• a first antenna arrangement structured to directly receive a HF transmission signal comprising first IQ data;
• a first set of one or more signal processing stages structured to transform the first IQ data, which is obtained from the HF transmission signal, into a first output information signal;
• a second antenna arrangement structured to receive a baseband transmission signal comprising second IQ data, the baseband transmission signal being a baseband converted version of the HF transmission signal such that the second IQ data is the same as the first IQ data;
• a second set of one or more signal processing stages structured to transform the second IQ data, which is obtained from the baseband transmission signal, into a second output information signal;
• and
• a switching unit that switches between using the first output information signal or the second output information signal, the switching unit using the first output information signal when a quality of reception of the HF transmission signal satisfies a threshold quality and using the second output information signal when the quality of reception does not satisfy the threshold quality.
