Assignee: NEW YORK UNIVERSITY
Field: Telecommunications (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  Y | IPC H

Claim 4:
5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein:
the antenna element is a first antenna element, the first signals are first antenna element first signals, and the second signals are first antenna element second signals;
the circuit is further configured to couple signals from a second antenna element among the antenna elements concurrently to the first QRA receive CS as second antenna element first signals and to the second QRA receive CS as second antenna element second signals;
the first QRA receive CS comprises:
a first QR first analog-to-digital converter (ADC), switchably enableable-disableable, and when enabled to convert the first antenna element first signals to a stream of first QR samples of the first antenna element first signals, and
a first QR second ADC, switchably enableable-disableable and when enabled to convert the second antenna element first signals to a stream of first QR samples of the second antenna element first signals; and

the processor is further configured to selectively enable and disable the first QR first ADC independently from the first QR second ADC.
