`
`2.
`
`The following is a quotation of the appropriate paragraphs of pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 102 that

`
`Claim | is rejected under pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 102(b) as being anticipated by Arpaia etal.
`
`(US 6,192,225).
`
`Regarding claim 1, Arpaia discloses a system for frequency down-converting a
`
`modulated carrier signal (FIG. 5), comprising: a first switch, a first aperture signal, andafirst
`
`energy storage element that down-converts said modulated carrier signal accordingto a first
`
`control signal and outputs a down-converted in-phase signal portion of said modulated carrier
`
`signal; a second switch, a second aperture signal, and a second energy storage elementthat
`
`down-converts said modulated carrier signal according to a second control signal and outputs a
`
`down-converted inverted in-phase signal portion of said modulated carrier signal (col. 4, lines
`
`21-50); and a first differential amplifier circuit that combines said down-converted in-phase
`
`signal portion with said inverted in-phase signal portion and outputs a first channel down-
`
`converted differential in-phase signal (col. 5, lines 31-50).
