ABSTRACT:
A radio receiver for receiving first signals of a first frequency spectrum having principal energy in a first frequency band and second signals of a second frequency spectrum having principal energy in second and third frequency bands, located on either side of the first frequency band, includes (i) an input for receiving an incoming signal; (ii) frequency shifting means for frequency shifting the incoming signal to form an intermediate frequency signal; and (iii) a filter for filtering the intermediate frequency signal. The filter has a frequency response that has a first passband and a second passband separated by a central stopband. A control unit for controlling the frequency shifting means has first and second modes for reception of the first and second signals. In the first mode, the control unit controls the frequency shifting means so as to frequency shift the incoming signal so that (a) the first frequency band of the incoming signal is shifted onto one of the first and second passbands and (b) one of the second and third frequency bands of the incoming signal is shifted onto the central stopband. In the second mode, the control unit controls the frequency shifting means so as to frequency shift the incoming signal so that (a) the second and third frequency bands of the incoming signal are shifted onto, respectively, the first and second passbands and (b) the first frequency band of the incoming signal is shifted onto the central stopband.
