Hybrid Sensing and Communications Receiver Front-End for Mobile Communications Applications

This work introduces a mobile network front-end based on a direct sampling architecture, enabling simultaneous sampling of all frequency bands below 6 GHz used for mobile communications. Good channel isolation properties of above 43 dB for most channels are an essential enabler for future sensing and communications applications. Variable amplification within individual channels enables direct control over reception levels, and enhances resistance against willful and unwilling jamming of the receiver system.
