Abstract
A single voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) running at a closed loop controlled fundamental frequency whereby the harmonic products generated by the VCO are used for both transmission and reception. The use of a single VCO and associated supporting circuitry for both transmit and receive portions of the circuit serves to reduce the cost of the transceiver. The radio transceiver comprises a single synthesized oscillator having high harmonic content. The frequency conversions in the receiver make use of the harmonic frequency components of the same oscillator used in performing modulation during transmission.
