Digital Upconversion Architecture for Mixed Carrier Signal Processing

The patent applies universality by designing a single digital up conversion processing device that can handle both subband and non-subband carrier signals through configurable modules. The gain module, shaping filtering module, DUC module, and frequency mixing modules are designed to adapt their operation based on the input signal type, eliminating the need for separate dedicated structures for each signal type while maintaining full processing capability.

The patent implements dynamics through configurable switches and control logic that dynamically route signals through different processing paths within the same hardware structure. The device can dynamically adjust its operation mode based on whether it receives subband or non-subband carrier signals, allowing a single static hardware structure to perform multiple functions without requiring physical reconfiguration.

By designing universal processing modules that can handle both subband and non-subband signals, the patent reduces the total component count required for production. Instead of manufacturing separate devices or modules for each signal type, a single standardized design can be mass-produced and configured for different applications, significantly lowering per-unit production costs while maintaining full processing capability.

The patent merges the processing functions for subband and non-subband carrier signals into a single integrated device structure. By combining what would traditionally require separate hardware implementations into one unified device with configurable pathways, the patent reduces manufacturing complexity, assembly steps, and overall production costs while preserving the ability to process both signal types effectively.

The patent achieves multi-functionality within a compact volume by designing processing modules that can serve dual purposes. The same gain module, filtering module, and frequency mixing modules are used for both subband and non-subband signal processing, eliminating the need for duplicate hardware components and significantly reducing the overall device volume while maintaining full processing capability for both signal types.

The patent implements a nested structure where multiple processing functions are integrated within hierarchical module arrangements. The configurable switches and control logic are embedded within the existing module framework, allowing additional functionality to be added without proportionally increasing device volume. This nested integration allows the device to process both subband and non-subband signals within a compact form factor.

By using universal processing modules for both subband and non-subband signals, the patent ensures that each module operates at full efficiency regardless of the signal type being processed. This eliminates the inefficiency of having underutilized dedicated modules and reduces overall power consumption while maintaining the ability to process both signal types with optimized performance.

The patent uses dynamic signal routing and configurable operation modes that allow the device to activate only the necessary processing pathways for the current input signal type. This dynamic configuration prevents unnecessary power consumption in inactive modules while maintaining full processing capability, as the device adapts its power usage to match the actual processing requirements in real-time.
