A wideband band bus in a base station of a wireless communication system includes consecutively interconnected slots and may be automatically configured into one or more sections that perform application specific cell processing operations, without requiring hardware or software changes to the base station. A section of the wideband bus includes a group of the consecutively connected slots containing digital signal processing modules which implement a cell processing application. The modules included in the slots of a section and the interconnections among the slots provide for diversity reception, expandable cell capacity and cell operations in accordance with wireless communication protocol standards.

An analog signal is converted to a digital signal by two analog-to-digital converters. The first converter digitizes the analog signal to produce a first series of samples of the signal. The second converter digitizes the analog signal after it has been shifted in phase by 180 degrees to produce a second series of samples. A digital adder then subtracts the second series of samples from the first series to produce the digital signal.
