Its performance and characteristics determines the quality and fidelity of the communication systems. Proliferation of communication protocols and standards however, require that the front-ends should become more flexible, multi-standard and reconfigurable. In addition, to enable higher communication throughput, there have been proponents of concurrent dual-band receiver front-ends to receive signals in more than one band simultaneously. Typical architecture for this concurrent multiband operation uses the front-end stack-up technique, which builds parallel receiver paths with each path dedicated to one frequency band. This increases complexity, power requirement, size and cost. The Six-Port receiver (SPR) is a low power and low complexity alternative to conventional homodyne receiver, which is multi-standard, flexible and easily reconfigurable. This thesis proposes the use of the SPR for a concurrent dual-band operation without any component duplication in the frequency down-conversion path.engUniversity of Calgary graduate students retain copyright ownership and moral rights for their thesis.
