In one embodiment, an apparatus includes first and second tuners to receive and process a radio frequency (RF) signal and output a first and second plurality of frequency domain sub-carriers. The apparatus may further include a combiner circuit to combine a first plurality of demodulated frequency domain sub-carriers and a second plurality of demodulated frequency domain sub-carriers into a plurality of combined frequency domain sub-carriers, and an output circuit coupled to the combiner circuit. In a first mode, the output circuit is to embed a format indicator with each of the plurality of combined frequency domain sub-carriers to indicate a frequency domain format, and to output the plurality of combined frequency domain sub-carriers with the embedded format indicator to a downstream processing circuit for channel decoding.

Interface to provide selectable time domain or frequency domain information to downstream circuitry

A digital audio decoder for receiving an encoded audio signal and decoding the audio signal. The digital audio decoder uses both real time computations and calculations pre-stored in a look-up table to decode the encoded audio signal. The digital audio decoder uses fixed point arithmetic but a variable word format to represent the intermediate computations and pre-stored look-up table entries.

Fixed point audio decoding system and method

A method of processing a stream of encoded units of data samples includes the step of calculating a sample advantage using timing information embedded in selected ones of the encoded units, the sample advantage representing a time difference in number of samples between the presentation of a reference sample and the availability of the reference sample. A number of phantom samples substantially equal to the number of samples represented by the calculated sample advantage are queued and then output from the queue at a selected rate. Substantially simultaneous with the outputting of the phantom samples from the queue, at least some data samples of at least one encoded unit are decoded and queued behind the phantom samples.

Methods and systems for prefilling a buffer in streaming data applications

A multi-channel digital audio decoder which receives an encoded audio signal having at least two channels and which decodes the audio signal. The digital audio decoder includes an input, which receives the encoded audio signal and a processor, which receives the encoded audio signal from the input. The processor decodes the encoded audio signal and provides decoded digital audio data. Also included is a buffer, which receives the decoded digital audio data from the processor. The buffer has a first-channel portion and a second-channel portion which have unequal sizes.

Efficient PCM buffer

A method for transferring data bursts via a synchronous data link includes the step of receiving a burst of packets, each packet including a header and a frame of data compressed at a selected sampling rate and transmitted at a selected bit rate. At least one of the packets of the stream of packets is embedded into a carrier frame including a carrier frame header. The carrier frame is then transmitted via the synchronous link. The data frame is extracted from the carrier frame and decompressed at the sample rate.

Systems and methods for transmitting bursty-asnychronous data over a synchronous link

A method of decoding an encoded bitstream. The method includes performing a two-table lookup. A first table is addressed in response to a first plurality of bits from the bitstream. An address into a second table is generated using a value in an entry in said first table accessed in the addressing step. A value (representing the decoded value corresponding to the codeword in the bitstream) in an entry in said second table at the address from the generating step is output.
