Techniques for dynamically selecting a number of downconversion paths used in a variety of receiver, wideband receiver architectures, for example, zero-IF or low-IF. In an exemplary embodiment, a first downconversion path is configured to downconvert a signal derived from an RF signal using a first mixing frequency. A second downconversion path is further configured to downconvert a signal derived from the RF signal using a second mixing frequency distinct from the first mixing frequency. The second downconversion path may be selectively enabled or disabled based on a detected level of an interferer in the frequency spectrum. For example, if the interferer level is less than a predetermined threshold, a fewer number of downconversion paths, for example, one path, may be enabled. If the interferer level is greater than a predetermined threshold, then a greater number of downconversion paths, for example, two or more paths, may be enabled.
