Bidirectional ports for multi-tuner background radios |
摘要 |
Tuners, multi-tuner receivers and methods of configuring multiple tuners are provided. A tuner on an integrated circuit includes an RF amplifier configured to be coupled to an antenna to amplify an RF signal received from the antenna, a bidirectional port configured to be coupled to another tuner and a bidirectional port circuit coupled between the RF amplifier and the bidirectional port. The bidirectional port circuit includes signal routing circuitry and a programmable control that is configured to control the signal routing circuitry to implement one of an input port, an output port or a disabled port. |

1. A tuner on an integrated circuit, the tuner comprising:
a radio frequency (RF) amplifier configured to be coupled to an antenna to amplify an RF signal received from the antenna; a bidirectional port configured to be coupled to an other tuner; and a bidirectional port circuit coupled between the RF amplifier and the bidirectional port, wherein the bidirectional port circuit includes signal routing circuitry and a programmable control, the programmable control configured to control the signal routing circuitry to implement one of an input port, an output port or a disabled port. |
