Various embodiments are directed to removing interfering signals in a
broadband radio frequency (RF) receiver by implementing a silicon tuner
arranged to replicate high quality factor (Q) performance without the
advantages of using high Q components available for module tuners. In one
or more embodiments, tuned filter elements within a broadband silicon
tuner are reused to maximize the attenuation of unwanted signals while
minimizing induced undesirable channel ripple. In various
implementations, a number of tuned passive inductor/capacitor filter
elements are combined as required such that filter elements for an unused
frequency band are reconfigured to provide attenuation of and enhanced
immunity to unwanted signals. Other embodiments are described and
claimed.
