Abstract
A frequency plan is provided for particular use in a transceiver. Advantageously, a single oscillator may be used to generate desired frequency signal. One or more power splitters receive the signal and equally divide the signal into first and second signals having a frequency substantially equal to the original. Multipliers on each arm of the transceiver receive a signal and increase the frequency of the signal. Ultimately, multiple signals having different frequencies may be transmitted over the same cable due in part to the generated frequency separation between the signals. In one particular aspect, the frequency plan provides a two-thirds relationship between the frequencies of the multiple signals.
Claims1
A frequency plan for a transceiver having a transmitted signal and a received signal, said plan comprising:
- a single oscillator configured to generate an oscillator signal at a desired frequency;
- a power splitter configured to receive said oscillator signal and to divide said signal into first and second signals having a frequency substantially equal to said desired frequency of said oscillator signal;
- a first multiplier configured to receive said first signal and to increase the frequency of said first signal;
- and
- a second multiplier configured to receive said second signal and to increase the frequency of said second signal, such that the increased frequencies of said first and second signals represent a two-thirds relationship between the frequencies.
