ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems for wireless communication are disclosed and may include band-limiting a wireless signal utilizing a programmable bandpass filter, generating a first signal by undersampling utilizing a clock signal and generating a second signal by undersampling the signal utilizing a delayed version of the clock signal, which may then be subtracted from the first signal. The filter may comprise a microstrip or a coplanar waveguide bandpass filter. The delay may be variable, and may be defined as an inverse of a frequency difference between the desired channel and a blocker signal. The bandwidth of the filter may be centered at the desired channel. The clock signal may be generated at a frequency which may be an integer sub-harmonic of the desired channel, and may be greater than twice a bandwidth of the filter. The delay may be controlled by a programmable delay circuit, which may comprise CMOS inverters.
