         Appeal No. 20000-0717                                                     
         Application 08/906,676                                                    


         independent claims does require a high frequency source and a             
         divider for receiving the high frequency source signal.  Since            
         we find no such teaching or suggestion of a high frequency                
         source signal and a divider connected thereto in Rogers, and              
         the examiner has not convinced us of the obviousness of                   
         providing such a high frequency source and divider in Rogers,             
         we will not sustain the rejection of claims 1-20 under 35                 
         U.S.C. 103.                                                               
              The examiner’s decision is reversed.
