Low-IF multiple mode digital receiver front end and corresponding method

摘要

A data communications technique is provided that may be used in WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) receivers. Data signals modulated in accordance with one of at least two different modulation schemes are received. The front end of the device has an analog and a digital part, and the digital front end includes a first and a second signal processing branch for processing received data signals modulated in accordance with different modulation schemes. The first and second processing branches have low-IF (Intermediate Frequency) topologies. There is further provided a corresponding integrated circuit chip and a method of processing received data signals.
