Abstract
A multi-carrier receiver, multi-carrier transmitter and a multi-carrier transceiver system are provided. The multi-carrier receiver includes at least a first processing unit, a routed switch and a second processing unit. The first processing unit has M first processing paths, performs intensity processing to at least one RF signal for outputting sub-carrier signals. The routed switch has M input terminals and N output terminals, where the M input terminals are respectively coupled to the M first processing paths and receive the sub-carrier signals. The routed switch connects each input terminal to at least one output terminal or none of the output terminals according to a control signal. The second processing unit has N second processing paths respectively coupled to the N output terminals for demodulating the sub-carrier signals and performing an analog-to-digital conversion to the demodulated signals for generating digital signals, where M and N are greater than 0.
