A receiving device includes: a mixer module arranged to receive an input signal to generate a down-converted output; a first active filter, the first active filter arranged to receive the down-converted output and perform an active filtering process upon the down-converted output to generate a first filtered output; a passive filter, the passive filter arranged to receive the first filtered output and perform a passive filtering process upon the first filtered output to generate a second filtered output; and a processing circuit, the processing circuit arranged to receive the second filtered output and process the second filtered output to generate an output signal corresponding to the input signal.

Receiving device and method thereof

A multi-channel decoding method includes: receiving an input signal to generate a channel output signal; providing a first test signal serving as the input signal in a first calibration mode; and adjusting a DC voltage level of the channel output signal with a first calibration signal by reducing a difference between a first predetermined reference signal level and a DC voltage level of the channel output signal generated from the first test signal.

Multi-channel decoding systems capable of reducing noise and methods thereof

A multi-channel decoding method includes: receiving an input signal to generate a first channel output signal and a second channel output signal, wherein the input signal is mixed with a specific clock signal; and gradually changing an amplitude of the specific clock signal from a first value to a second value when switching from a first mode corresponding to a first number of channels to a second mode corresponding to a second number of channels. Systems utilizing the method and another method further comprising calibration are also disclosed.

A calibration circuit for calibrating an output level of a demodulator includes a test signal generator, an RSSI module and a calibration module. The test signal generator generates a test signal, and the RSSI module detects the test signal to generate a control signal, wherein the control signal controls the demodulator to process the test signal to generate a determined output signal. The calibration module then calibrates the RSSI module according to the output signal in order to calibrate the output level of the demodulator. When the control signal is utilized to selectively enable or disable a soft-mute function of the demodulator, the calibration module can be utilized to calibrate or determine the soft-mute function of the demodulator.
