Saw-less receiver with a frequency translated bpf having a negative resistance

A surface acoustic wave (SAW)-less receiver comprises:

• a front end module (FEM) interface module operable to receive an inbound radio frequency (RF) signal that includes a loss error due to at least one of switching loss and inductor loss;
• a radio frequency (RF) to intermediate frequency (IF) receiver section including:
• an RF frequency translated bandpass filter (FTBPF) operable to:
• frequency translate a baseband filter response to an RF filter response;
• filter the inbound RF signal in accordance with the RF filter response to produce a filtered inbound RF signal;
• and
• compensate the loss error of the filtered inbound RF signal based on a negative resistance to produce a compensated inbound RF signal;
• a low noise amplifier module operable to amplify the compensated inbound RF signal to produce an amplified inbound RF signal;
• a mixing section operable to mix the amplified inbound RF signal with a local oscillation to produce an inbound IF signal;
• and
• a receiver IF to baseband section operable to convert the inbound IF signal into one or more inbound symbol streams.
