Abstract
A method a system for receiving signals from plural frequency bands and plural communication protocols. An interchangeable radio frequency ('RF') front end may receive RF signals from plural frequency bands and plural communication protocols. Intermediate frequency ('IF') circuitry may produce one or more common IF signals from the received RF signals. A common digital back end may then receive digitized versions of the IF signals, modify IF signal bandwidth as a function of the plural communication protocols, and process plural received signals without knowledge of the underlying communication protocols.
