Abstract
A method for demodulating a modulated carrier includes sampling the modulated carrier with an A/D converter clocking at a first sampling frequency to generate a modulated carrier series of samples occurring at the first sampling frequency. The first sampling frequency it selected to optimize a digital signal processor (DSP) design from demodulating a carrier modulated in accordance with a first transmission specification to recover base band data. The method includes generating a second series of samples occurring at a second sampling frequency representing the base band data. The second series of samples is calculated from the first series of samples and the second sampling frequency is selected to optimal a DSP design for recovering data from the base band data signal encoded in accordance with a second transmission specification.
