Abstract
A demodulation system capable of configuring itself responsive to channel conditions. A plurality of detectors may be provided, one or more of which may be better able to handle a particular form of interference than one or more of the other detectors. The detectors estimate source bits from a common signal. One or more signal quality estimators receive the estimated bits for the detectors, and provide performance metrics for each of the detectors. A selector selects or continues the pre-selection of one of the detectors responsive to the performance metrics. A multiplexor outputs the estimated bits from the selected or pre-selected detector.
