Abstract:
1. A radio transceiver comprising: a programmable cellular radio front end comprising a digital radio frequency processor configured to support a cellular communication standard; a programmable baseband processor connected to the digital radio frequency processor, programmed with instructions stored in a memory, that when executed by the programmable baseband processor perform the steps of: (a) selectively bypassing a set of cellular communication standard specific functions in the digital radio frequency processor; (b) selectively modifying a set of operating parameters to conform the radio transceiver to the non-cellular communication standard; (c) processing a set of input data in accordance with the non-cellular communication standard including mapping the set of input data to a set of symbols and selectively filtering the set of symbols in accordance with the non-cellular communication standard; (d) providing the processed set of input data to the digital radio frequency processor for transmission; (e) receiving a set of output data from the digital radio frequency processor; (f) demodulating the received set of output data to obtain a set of demodulated data; and, (g) running a timing estimation algorithm on the set of demodulated data.
