ABSTRACT:
A device for filtering wide-band signals at radio frequencies is usable either in a base station cellular telephony system or separately. The wide-band signal occupies a total frequency band comprising frequency bands allocated to that signal and a central frequency band extraneous to that wide-band signal. Within the device, the wide-band signal is mixed with a heterodyne wave to translate the signal from RF to IF. The signal at IF is then filtered by two surface acoustic wave (SAW) band-pass filters which have respective pass bands which correspond at IF to the allocated frequency bands of the wide-band signal, and which the SAW filters have the filtering effect of passing with low attenuation signals in those allocated bands while substantially attenuating signals and/or noise in the central extraneous frequency band between those allocated bands. The wide-band signal after being so filtered either remains at IF when supplied from the device or, in a subsequent stage of the device, is again mixed with the heterodyne wave to be restored back to RF. The heterodyne wave may be adjustable in frequency.
