Abstract
Abstract A integratable transmitter/receiver configuration for higher frequencies includes a reception path mixer multiplying a reception signal and a carrier frequency signal with one another. A controlled first intermediate frequency oscillator can be turned off by a switch control signal and has a frequency range being reversible by a first range control signal. A demodulator is connected downstream of the reception path mixer and receives the output signal of the first intermediate frequency oscillator both directly and phase-displaced by 90°. A phase detector device is connected downstream of and controls the first intermediate frequency oscillator, and has a frequency range being reversible by a second range control signal. A controlled second intermediate frequency oscillator is connected parallel to the first intermediate frequency oscillator and can be turned on by the switch control signal. A transmission path mixer has one input being connected to the outputs of the first and second intermediate frequency oscillators and has another input receiving the carrier frequency signal. A modulator is connected downstream of the transmission path mixer, receives an input signal, and supplies a transmission signal.
