RECONFIGURABLE GNSS RF FRONT END AND METHOD FOR RECONFIGURING A GNSS RF FRONT END

摘要

An RF front end for global navigation satellite systems comprising: a plurality of RF chains comprising M RF chains, each RF chain at least comprising an antenna, a low-noise amplifier, and a frequency mixer; and a plurality of local oscillators comprising N local oscillators. The RF front end further comprises reconfiguration means configured to connect each of the M frequency mixers to any of the N local oscillators, and to change at least one established connection between a frequency mixer and a local oscillator into a connection between the frequency mixer and a different local oscillator. A method for reconfiguring an RF front end for global navigation satellite systems.
