ABSTRACT:
An embodiment of the present invention is a single-chip GPS receiver front-end comprising a radio frequency amplifier, a voltage-controlled oscillator operating at a first local oscillator frequency, a divide by seven and one-half counter for deriving a second local oscillator frequency from the first and a first and second mixer. The local oscillator frequency is mid-way between two carrier frequencies of interest that may be received by the radio frequency amplifier and the first mixer produces a first intermediate frequency. The second local oscillator frequency is then beat with the first intermediate frequency in the second mixer to produce a second intermediate frequency. A dual-conversion super heterodyne configuration is therefore employed in which the first and second local oscillator frequencies are derived from a single oscillator and the first local oscillator frequency is seven and one-half times the second local oscillator frequency.
