Abstract
A multi-mode receiver system for processing signals based on a plurality of systems is disclosed. Embodiments of the invention provide for a shared architecture for processing baseband signals corresponding to a plurality of systems.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention relates generally to a transceiver. More particularly, the invention relates to a multi-mode receiver system.
- 2. Related Art
- Feature additions in portable transceivers, such as cellular handsets, have resulted in color displays, radio receiver capabilities (e.g., for listening to music), Internet-access, among others. With the trend in cellular handsets toward miniaturization, such additional features can consume additional space and power and increase costs. Additional overhead to accommodate the above features and others typically results in a consumer choosing between a portable handset that provides additional functionality at a premium price or that requires additional attachments and/or devices that are bulky and make portability less convenient.
- Therefore, it would be desirable to provide a portable transceiver that provides enhanced features without requiring significant additional overhead and/or cost.
- Embodiments of the invention include a multi-mode receiver (MMR) system that uses a substantial portion of the code-division multiple access (CDMA) architecture for providing digital-broadcast satellite (DBS) system functionality. Embodiments of the invention provide a baseband section configured to process a first baseband signal based on a first system using baseband components, wherein the baseband section is further configured to process a second baseband signal based on a second system using the baseband components.
- Related methods of operation are also provided. Other systems, methods, features, and advantages of the invention will be or become apparent to one with skill in the art upon examination of the following figures and detailed description. It is intended that all such additional systems, methods, and features, and advantages be included within this description, be within the scope of the invention, and be protected by the accompanying claims.
- Many aspects of the invention can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily to scale, emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the present invention. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating an analog baseband embodiment of the MMR system shown inFIG. 1 . -
FIGS. 3A-3B are graph diagrams illustrating the different filter characteristics for the embodiment shown inFIG. 2 for code-division multiple access (CDMA) functionality and digital-broadcast satellite (DBS) functionality. -
FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating a first digital baseband embodiment of the MMR system shown inFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 5 is a block diagram illustrating a second digital baseband embodiment of the MMR system shown inFIG. 1 . - Embodiments of a multi-mode receiver (MMR) system for a portable transceiver are disclosed. In general, the MMR system includes receiver functionality that uses much of the'existing code-division multiple access (CDMA) architecture for providing functionality of a receiver designed and/or used for a digital-broadcast satellite (DBS) system (e.g., having a downlink frequency of approximately 2642.5 MHz and an approximately 25 MHz downlink bandwidth), among other systems such as global-positioning satellite (GPS) and/or personal-communication service (PCS). For example, a user may desire listening to and/or downloading stereo music between calls. The MMR system enables the download of satellite music using much of the CDMA architecture. The MMR system adapts to the different systems by using filters and DC (direct current) offset correction elements that have switchable bandwidths. Herein operating in a CDMA, DBS, GPS, or PCS “mode” will be understood to include providing receiver functionality that is consistent with a stand-alone receiver or transceiver that would be designed and/or used for that particular system or service. For example, providing receiver functionality can include providing frequency response characteristics corresponding to the particular system or service, having compliance with respective standards and protocols, etc. Thus, the MMR system achieves at least dual functionality, or in general, multi-mode functionality at minimal die size and external component cost.
- Although described with particular reference to a portable transceiver that uses a CDMA architecture to provide DBS receiver functionality, the MMR system can be used with GSM (global system for mobile communications), analog AMPS (Advanced Mobile Phone system), and/or architectures compliant to other standards to provide for DBS receiver or receiver functionality for other systems. The description that follows will describe the MMR system implemented in analog baseband and digital baseband embodiments, although the MMR system is not limited to these embodiments.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a simplifiedportable transceiver 100. Theportable transceiver 100 includes aspeaker 102,display 104, keyboard 106, andmicrophone 108, all connected to abaseband subsystem 130. In a particular embodiment, theportable transceiver 100 can be, for example but not limited to, a portable telecommunication device such as a mobile/cellular-type telephone. Thespeaker 102 anddisplay 104 receive signals from thebaseband subsystem 130 viaconnections 110 and 112, respectively, as known to those skilled in the art. Similarly, the keyboard 106 andmicrophone 108 supply signals to thebaseband subsystem 130 viaconnections baseband subsystem 130 includes a microprocessor (μP) 118,memory 120,analog circuitry 122, and a digital signal processor (DSP) 124 in communication viabus 128.Bus 128, although shown as a single bus, may be implemented using multiple busses connected as necessary among the subsystems within thebaseband subsystem 130. Themicroprocessor 118 andmemory 120 provide signal timing, processing and storage functions for theportable transceiver 100.Analog circuitry 122 provides analog processing functions for the signals within thebaseband subsystem 130. Thebaseband subsystem 130 provides control signals to a radio frequency (RF)subsystem 144 viaconnection 134. Although shown as asingle connection 134, the control signals may originate from the DSP 124 and/or from themicroprocessor 118, and are supplied to a variety of points within theRF subsystem 144. For example, the DSP 124 ormicroprocessor 118 can send control signals to a multi-mode receiver (MMR)system 200, enabling theMMR system 200 to switch among DBS, CDMA, PCS, and/or GPS modes. It should be noted that, for simplicity, only the basic components of theportable transceiver 100 are illustrated herein. - The
baseband subsystem 130 also includes, in one embodiment, a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) 136. TheDAC 136 also communicates with themicroprocessor 118,memory 120,analog circuitry 122, and/or DSP 124 viabus 128. TheDAC 136 converts the digital communication information withinbaseband subsystem 130 into an analog signal for transmission to theRF subsystem 144 viaconnection 142. - The analog signal on
connection 142 is modulated and converted atmodulator system 148, in cooperation with one or more components of the MMR system 200 (via connection 166), and provided overconnection 154. A power amplifier system (PAS) 180 amplifies the modulated signal(s) onconnection 154 to the appropriate power level for transmission viaconnection 162 to a duplexer-and-switch module 174. The transmit signal energy is provided from the duplexer-and-switch module 174 to anantenna 172. - Signals are received at the
antenna 172, provided to the duplexer-and-switch module 174, and routed to one of several signal-processing paths of theMMR system 200 viaconnection 173. It will be appreciated by one having ordinary skill in the art that in a full-duplex transceiver, such as that used in CDMA, the simultaneous transmit/receive signal is accomplished, in one implementation, through the use of the duplexer-and-switch module 174. The duplexer-and-switch module 174 can include a duplexer to accommodate the full duplex transmission of CDMA systems as well as include a multiple output switch/filter for GPS, DBS, and/or possibly other systems and/or standards incorporated in theMMR system 200. The duplexer-and-switch module 174 will typically route one set of bands to a first port (not shown), and a second set to a second port (not shown), thus acting as a three port device (e.g., the antenna port handling all frequencies, a receive port handling receive signals for provision to theMMR system 200, and a transmit port handling transmit frequencies. In one embodiment, the operation of the duplexer-and-switch module 174 is controlled by a control signal from the baseband subsystem 130 (e.g., via connection 134). In other embodiments, a switch (e.g., controlled from thebaseband subsystem 130 viaconnection 134, for example) can be used to route received signals to theMMR system 200 or transmit signals fromconnection 162 to theantenna 172. - Signals received by
antenna 172 will, at the appropriate time determined bybaseband system 130, be directed via the duplexer-and-switch module 174 to theMMR system 200 viaconnection 173. As will be described in further detail below, theMMR system 200 switches operation between the CDMA mode and the DBS mode, among other modes, using the CDMA baseband architecture for the different modes. Thus, theMMR system 200 includes components used for receiving and processing (e.g., filtering, downconversion, amplification, demodulation, etc.) signals for the various modes. TheMMR system 200 provides output signals overconnection 198 to thebus 128 for further processing in the digital domain. -
FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating one embodiment of an MMR system using an analog baseband system. In particular, shown is theMMR system 200 a implemented with an analog baseband system. TheMMR system 200 a includes functionality for receiving and processing signals corresponding to several modes viaconnection 173.Connection 173 includes processing paths corresponding to the CDMA, GPS, PCS, and DBS modes. The path starting atconnection 201 from the duplexer-and-switch module 174 corresponds to a signal-processing path for the CDMA mode. The path starting atconnection 233 represents a signal-processing path corresponding to the GPS mode. The path starting atconnection 253 corresponds to a signal-processing path for the PCS mode. The path starting atconnection 267 corresponds to a signal-processing path for the DBS mode. Acommon baseband section 212 a provides for a common architecture providing baseband signal-processing of signals from the various signal-processing paths. - Beginning with the CDMA signal-processing path, the signal received from the duplexer-and-
switch module 174 is provided overconnection 201 to aduplexer 202. Theduplexer 202 filters the received signal and supplies the filtered signal onconnection 203 to CDMA low noise amplifier (LNA) 204. Theduplexer 202 can be a bandpass filter, which passes all channels of the particular cellular system in which the portable transceiver 100 (FIG. 1 ) is operating. As an example, in an 800 MHz CDMA system, the receive section of a duplexer 202 passes substantially all frequencies from approximately 869.64 MHz to 893.97 MHz, with channels spaced 30 kHz from each other. One purpose of theduplexer 202 is to reject all frequencies outside the desired frequency region. TheCDMA LNA 204 amplifies the weak signal onconnection 203 usingamplifiers 206 a and/or 206 b, and provides the amplified signal overconnection 205 to a CDMA Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW)filter 208. TheCDMA SAW filter 208 rejects unwanted signals (e.g., transmitter signal leakage) and provides the filtered signal overconnection 207 at a defined frequency to the downconverter 210 (labeled “mixer” inFIG. 2 ). - The
downconverter 210 receives a local oscillator signal or LO, from Phase-Locked Loop (PLL)element 290. In one embodiment, thePLL element 290 includes anoscillator 246, divide-by-N 248 (where N is an integer number that is adjusted depending on the different channel numbers for the different systems),loop filter 250, andreference crystal oscillator 252. Within each standard such as CDMA or PCS, N varies depending on the channel number. For the DBS case, there is only one center frequency and hence N remains fixed. N can also be a fractional number (e.g., non-integer) depending on the system requirements corresponding to different standards. Thus, the value of N can change in a given system or mode to tune across different channels. ThePLL element 290 signal instructs thedownconverter 210 viaconnection 243 as to the proper frequency to which to downconvert the signal received from theCDMA SAW filter 208. The signal onconnection 207 is thus downconverted to baseband on connection 209 (carrying the “I” signal) and 221 (carrying the “Q” signal). - The
common baseband section 212 a provides for filtering, DC (direct current) offset correction, and amplification of the “I” and “Q” signals of the various signal paths. Thecommon baseband section 212 a includes low-pass (LP) filters 214, 228, all-pass (AP) filters 226 and 238,DC correction elements DC correction elements common baseband section 212 a are adjustable (e.g., have switchable bandwidths via control signals from thebaseband subsystem 130,FIG. 1 ) to achieve the desired frequency response for the particular mode being implemented (e.g., COMA, PCS, GPS, DBS). For example, the 3-dB bandwidths for the CDMA, GPS; and DBS modes are approximately 630 kHz, 1 MHz, and 8 MHz, respectively. Thus, each of the LP filters 214, 228, 220, and 232 operate under a control input that changes the resistance and/or capacitance of the filter based on the desired bandwidth while minimizing the impact of filter noise. Further, the difference in DC bandwidth correction can be fifty-fold between various systems (e.g., approximately 1 kHz for CDMA versus 50 kHz for DBS), and thus theDC correction elements - Since DBS systems are similar in nature to CDMA systems in terms of the physical layer signal characteristics (e.g., the waveforms in both systems are direct sequence spread spectrum systems), several of the CDMA receiver functional blocks (or rather the components therein) can be leveraged to integrate the DBS functionality with the CDMA architecture. This approach of reusing and sharing the functional blocks between CDMA and DBS provides a low-cost architecture in terms of external components, die size and total system cost. The low-pass filter cut-off frequency (LP filters 214, 228, 220, and 232) as well as the DC-offset loop corner cut-off (224 and 238) are switched between CDMA and DBS modes. The low-pass cut off frequency refers to the extent of the signal bandwidth (BW) for both modes (e.g., CDMA and DBS), for example. Since both CDMA and DBS systems are wideband systems and have negligible energy near DC, DC-offset loops can function as high-pass filters that have a high-pass cut-off frequency. In the case of CDMA, the −3 decibel (dB) cut-off of the low-pass filter is approximately 630 kilo-Hertz (kHz) and the high-pass corner is approximately 1 kHz. When the MMR system switches to the DBS mode, the low-pass filter cut off is switched to approximately 8.192 MHz and the high-pass corner is switched to approximately 20-50 kHz. Hence, the DC cut-off frequency can be switched between values, for example by switching capacitors or other circuit elements. The same VGAs (218 and 220) are used for the CDMA and DBS systems since the dynamic range requirements in the DBS case at the upper end is limited by the repeater distance and near field effects.
- The “I” baseband signal on
connection 209 corresponding to the downconverted CDMA signal is filtered byLP filter 214, and provided over connection 211 to automatic gain control (AGC) element 216. The “Q” signal onconnection 221 corresponding to the downconverted CDMA signal is similarly filtered by LP filter 228, and provided overconnection 223 to AGC element 216. The AGC element 216 includes variable-gain amplifiers (VGAs) 218 and 222 (in the “I” path), and 230 and 234 (in the “Q” path). The AGC element 216 also includes LP filters 220 in the “I” path and 232 on the “Q” path. The “I” and “Q” signals are amplified and low-pass filtered, and the processed “I” and “Q” signals are provided over connections 217 and 229 respectively. - The processed “I” signal on connection 217 undergoes DC correction via the
DC correction element 224. The DC corrected “I” signal is subject to filtering at AP filter 226, and the filtered signal is provided overconnection 198 to the baseband subsystem 130 (FIG. 1 ) for further signal-processing. The processed “Q” signal similarly undergoes DC correction atDC correction element 236 and filtering atAP filter 238.DC correction elements common baseband section 212 a. The filtered signal is provided overconnection 198 to thebaseband subsystem 130 for further signal-processing. The signal(s) onconnection 198 can be provided to an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) (not shown) in the baseband subsystem 130 (FIG. 1 ). The ADC can provide the converted signal to other components of thebaseband subsystem 130 via thebus 128 or to other components. For example, the signal can be digitized (e.g., at the ADC) and provided to the DSP 124 (FIG. 1 ), microprocessor 118 (FIG. 1 ), or a modem (not shown), etc., depending on the application. - GPS signals are received from the duplexer-and-
switch module 174 onconnection 233 and filtered atpre-select filter 240. Thepre-select filter 240 can reject substantially all other frequencies beyond the GPS signal band. The resultant signal provided at the selected frequency is provided onconnection 235 and amplified at amplifier 242. The amplified signal is provided atconnection 237 to theGPS downconverter 244. - The
PLL element 290 signal instructs theGPS downconverter 244 viaconnection 243 as to the proper frequency to which to downconvert the amplified signal onconnection 237. The downconverted signals (“I” and “Q”) are provided on connections 239 and 241 respectively, passed to thecommon baseband section 212 a, and processed based on the filter settings and the DC-offset correction provided via control signals provided from the baseband subsystem 130 (e.g., viaconnection 134,FIG. 1 ). In other words, filters (e.g., 214, 228, 220, 232) and theDC correction elements common baseband section 212 a are adjusted by thebaseband subsystem 130 to provide the proper frequency response for the selected mode (e.g., CDMA, GPS, etc.). - PCS signals are received at the
duplexer 254 from the duplexer-and-switch module 174 overconnection 253, and provided to thePCS LNA 256 viaconnection 255. ThePCS LNA 256 includesamplifiers connection 257 to the PCSRF SAW filter 260, which selects out the desired frequency in a manner similar to that described for theCDMA SAW filter 208. The signal at the selected frequency is provided overconnection 259 to thePCS downconverter 262, where it is downconverted to baseband under the control ofPLL element 290 viaconnection 243. The baseband signals are provided overconnections 261 and 265 to thecommon baseband section 212 a for processing as described above. The LP Filters and DC correction elements are adjusted corresponding to the PCS mode, as described above. - The DBS signal-processing path includes a
DBS preselect filter 264,DBS LNA 266, andDBS downconverter 268. Aseparate LNA 266 anddownconverter 268 may be used to accommodate the different RF frequencies and no RF SAW filter is required at least in part because a direct conversion architecture is employed in one embodiment for the DBS portion of theMMR system 200 a and there is no image frequency. Further, there is no transmission to the satellite and hence there is no full duplex operation like the CDMA system. The DBS signal is received at the DBS preselect filter 264 from the duplexer-and-switch module 174 overconnection 267. TheDBS LNA 266, as is true for the like-component shown inFIGS. 4 and 5 , can include a bypass mode in order to bypass theDBS LNA 266 at high signal strengths, especially when the transceiver 100 (FIG. 1 ) is disposed in close proximity to a ground repeater. The filtered signal is provided overconnection 269 to theDBS LNA 266. TheDBS LNA 266 amplifies the signal if necessary, and the signal is then provided to theDBS downconverter 268 viaconnection 271. TheDBS downconverter 268 receives an LO signal from thePLL element 290 overconnection 243 to downconvert signals received overconnections 271 to baseband. The “I” and “Q” signals provided by theDBS downconverter 268 are provided overconnections common baseband section 212 a, in a manner similar to that described above for the other signal-processing paths. In other embodiments, theDBS downconverter 268 can be omitted and one of the downconverters of the other systems (e.g., the PCS downconverter 262) can be used for performing downconversion of the DBS-based signal. Also as described above, the LP filters and DC correction elements are adjusted based on the selected mode. -
FIGS. 3A-3B are graph diagrams illustrating the different low-pass filter characteristics required for the embodiment shown inFIG. 2 for the CDMA and DBS modes. As indicated above, the LP filters 214, 220, 228, and 232 (FIG. 2 ) are adjusted via signals received from the baseband subsystem 130 (FIG. 1 ).FIG. 3A represents the LP filter characteristics for the CDMA mode, andFIG. 3B represents the filter characteristics for the DBS mode. Referring toFIGS. 3A and 3B , the y-axis 302 provides an indication of the normalized amplitude level of the processed signal in units of dB, and thex-axis 304 provides an indication of the signal frequency in units of kHz.Point 306 on the y-axis 302 represents the normalized amplitude level of the signal response, andpoint 308 represents that the attenuation of the filter (normalized amplitude) at a particular offset frequency is finite and does not reach infinity. Referring toFIG. 3A , the cut-off frequency (−3 dB frequency) for the CDMA mode is shown atpoint 310, which corresponds to approximately 630 kHz. Signals are passed up until approximately 900 kHz, as represented bypoint 312. For the DBS frequency response,point 314 represents the −3-dB cut-off frequency, which corresponds to 8.192 MHz. Signals are passed in the DBS mode up until approximately 11.63 MHz, as represented bypoint 316. Thus, when the cut-off frequency is switched from the CDMA system to the DBS system, the shift factor of the filter remains the same. The shift factor is a ratio of passband frequency to stop band frequency. For example, in a CDMA system, the passband frequency can be 630 kHz and the stop band frequency can be 900 KHz. The same or similar ratio can applied to DBS passband and stop band as well. -
FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating a second MMR system embodiment configured with a digital baseband system. The components corresponding to the signal-processing paths upstream of and including the downconverters for each signal-processing path are the same or substantially similar to that described for theMMR system 200 a ofFIG. 2 , and thus the corresponding explanation will be omitted for clarity. “I” and “Q” baseband signals from the downconverters corresponding to the CDMA, GPS, PCS, and DBS signal-processing paths are provided to acommon baseband subsection 212 b. Thecommon baseband subsection 212 b includes LP filters 414 and 436,VGAs 416 and 438,DC correction elements decimator filters 422 and 444 (represented by a downward arrow followed by an upper-case M). Thecommon baseband section 212 b also includes finite-impulse response filters (FIRS) 424 and 446, digital to analog converters (DACs) 428 and 432, and smoothing filters (SF) 430 and 434. - Processing of the “I” signal will be described, with the understanding that a similar explanation for processing of the “Q” signal applies. The “I” signal is filtered at the
LP filter 414 and provided onconnection 411. As described for the analog embodiment ofFIG. 2 , the LP filter 414 (and 436) and the DC-offset correction element 418 (and 440) are bandwidth adjusted (e.g., have switchable bandwidths via, for example, control signals from thebaseband subsystem 130,FIG. 1 ) to achieve the desired frequency response for the particular mode being implemented (e.g., CDMA, PCS, GPS, DBS). The same or similar bandwidth adjustments are implemented for like-components of the embodiment illustrated inFIG. 5 . The filtered signal provided onconnection 411 is amplified by VGA 416 and provided onconnection 413. Note that the functionality of the VGA 416 (and corresponding VGA for the “Q” signal) can be performed post-decimation (described below) in some embodiments, and/or the functionality can be integrated into the ADCs (e.g., ADC 420) in other embodiments. The amplified signal onconnection 413 undergoes DC-offset correction atDC correction element 418. The DC corrected signal is provided to theADC 420, where it is sampled corresponding to the sampling rate designated by one or more components of the baseband subsystem 130 (FIG. 1 , for example, the DSP 124). TheADC 420 and 442 can thus be shared among the various modes with a change in the sampling clocks. - For example, the sampling clock of the
ADC 420 is switched based on the selected mode, such that a different sample rate may be used for the CDMA mode than is used for the DBS mode. An example would be where the CDMA sampling clock is 9.6 MHz or 19.2 MHz that provides an over-sampling ratio approximately equaling 8 and 16 respectively. Alternatively, the sampling clock may be chosen to be an integer multiple of the chip rate which is 1.2288 MHz. The sampled signal is sent over connection 417 to thedecimator filter 422, which downsamples from a higher frequency to a lower frequency. - Decimation is an operation of downsampling from a higher frequency to a lower frequency. It could be an integer rate conversion or a non-integer rate conversion. Decimation is then performed to a lower rate that equals either the Nyquist sampling rate or a multiple of the same. Hence, the decimation factor would equal 4 or 8 for the above-described sampling clock frequencies of 9.6 MHz and 19.2 MHz respectively. Decimation can occur to a different sampling value for the various modes (e.g., CDMA versus DBS). Thus, the decimator filter 422 (and 444) can have its sampling rate adjusted to achieve the desired decimation (e.g., via a control signal from the
baseband subsystem 130,FIG. 1 ). In the DBS mode, the sampling clock chosen can equal a multiple of the chip rate, for example 16.384 MHz. Therefore, this would result in a sampling clock of 131.072 MHz/65.536 MHz that results in an over-sampling ratio of 8 and 4 respectively. Similar decimation factors can be employed in order to convert the output to a lower rate before feeding the digital filters. - The sampled value provided from the
decimator filter 422 is provided overconnection 419 to theFIR filter 424. The FIR filter 424 (and 446) is also a component that is adjusted based on the mode of the signal received and processed. The filtered signal is provided over connection 421 to theDAC 428, where it is converted to an analog signal and provided overconnection 423. TheDAC 428 includes a sampling rate that also is adjusted based on the mode implemented. The sampling rate of theDAC 428 is generally equal to or proportional to the sampling rate implemented by thedecimator filter 422. The signal provided overconnection 423 is further filtered (e.g., removing alias spurs created by the sample and hold operation performed by the DAC 428) at the smoothingfilter 430, and then provided overconnection 198. Thus, thecommon baseband section 212 b can process signals received in any of the modes (e.g., CDMA, GPS, PCS, or DBS) using shared components, some of which are adjusted to accommodate the various frequency responses for the respective mode. -
FIG. 5 is a block diagram illustrating a third MMR system embodiment using a second digital baseband system. The thirdMMR system embodiment 200 c shown inFIG. 5 is substantially similar to the secondMMR system embodiment 200 b. However, the thirdMMR system embodiment 200 c differs from the secondMMR system embodiment 200 b in that thethird embodiment 200 c omits theDACs smooth filters FIG. 4 . Similar to the secondMMR system embodiment 200 b, the thirdMMR system embodiment 200 c has a sampling rate that is switched (e.g., via ADC 420) between CDMA and DBS modes to accommodate a common architecture. Further, the decimator filters 422 and 444 andFIR filters microprocessor 118 or DSP 124) or dynamically adjusted (e.g., real-time processing). Also, the low-pass filters and DC-correction elements are adjusted as explained in association withFIG. 4 . - The sharing of the high dynamic range ADC's between the CDMA and DBS modes, wherein the ADCs (e.g.,
ADCs FIG. 4 ) are configured as sigma-delta architectures (specialized ADCs), can be designed to consume lower power when operating at the lower sampling rate, while in the DBS mode, the power may be higher. This can be handled by switching operations in additional stages to achieve the dynamic range possibly required in DBS mode. - While various embodiments of the invention have been described, it will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that many more embodiments and implementations are possible that are within the scope of this invention. Accordingly, the invention is not to be restricted except in light of the following claims and their equivalents.
