Abstract

A method of generating multi-channel local oscillation frequencies in an ultra wide band communication system includes generating: at least one reference frequency, a plurality of auxiliary frequencies by dividing and multiplying the at least one reference frequency, and a plurality of first local oscillation frequencies by mixing the reference frequency and at least some of the plurality of auxiliary frequencies with other auxiliary frequencies.

Claims (27)

1. A method of generating multi-channel local oscillation frequencies in an ultra wide band communication system having multiple channels of identical bandwidth, the method comprising:

generating at least one reference frequency;

generating a plurality of auxiliary frequencies by dividing and multiplying the at least one reference frequency; and

generating a plurality of first local oscillation frequencies by mixing the reference frequency and at least some of the plurality of auxiliary frequencies with other auxiliary frequencies, respectively,

wherein each of the auxiliary frequencies used in the mixing is greater than an interval between the frequency being mixed and an outermost frequency in the ultra wide band.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating a plurality of second local oscillation frequencies by mixing at least one of the first local oscillation frequencies with at least one of the auxiliary frequencies, respectively,

wherein each of the auxiliary frequencies used in the mixing is greater than an interval between the frequency being mixed and an outermost frequency of the ultra wide band.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mixing is performed by using a single side band mixer.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reference frequencies are 9504 MHz and 11352 MHz.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the generating a plurality of auxiliary frequencies comprises:
