and the dual channel mode which will be explained in detail hereinafter the receiver 100 comprises an analog front end 102 including a first filter 104 a second filter 108 and a low noise amplifier lna 106 mixers 110 a 110 b a third filter 112 a a fourth filter 112 b variable gain amplifiers vgas 114 a 114 b coupling networks 116 a 116 b adcs 118 a 118 b a hilbert transformer 120 and a lo 130 it should be understood to be obvious to those of skill in the art that more or less components than those shown in fig1 may be used signals 101 received by the receiver 100 include two adjacent channels of interest for example channel 1 and channel 2 fig2 a shows an rf spectrum of the received signals 101 including the channel 1 and the channel 2 and adjacent channel interferers the rf bandwidth rfbw of the channel 1 and channel 2 including guard bands of the channel 1 and channel 2 are adjacent to each other as shown in fig2 referring to fig1 the received signals 101 are filtered by the first filter 104 and amplified by the lna 106 to generate an amplified signal 107 which is filtered again by the second filter 108 to generate a filtered signal 109 the.
