Multi-standard baseband receiver

Abstract

Techniques for processing incoming signals conforming to a plurality of standards or communication formats with a single baseband receive section are disclosed. In one aspect, a plurality of analog processing components are adjusted in response to a format select signal, set according to one of a plurality of supported formats or standards. In another aspect, the operating mode of an A/D converter is tuned in response to the format select signal. In yet another aspect, the response characteristics of a jammer filter are tuned in response to the format select signal. In yet another aspect, the adjustment of the plurality of analog processing components is carried out by varying the frequency of a sample clock in response to the format select signal. Various other aspects are also presented. These aspects have the benefit of allowing a single baseband receive section to be deployed to process analog signals conforming to a plurality of communications standards or formats, in a power and area efficient manner.
