Abstract:
1. A method for demodulating a signal in a computing system, comprising the steps of: storing a plurality of demodulation schemes and a plurality of channel definitions in a channel allocation table, at least one of the demodulation schemes associated with each of the channel definitions; receiving an analog waveform comprising a plurality of channels; converting the analog waveform into at least one digital waveform; isolating a specified frequency range from the at least one digital waveform; measuring a magnitude of a plurality of tones within the specified frequency range; storing the magnitudes of the plurality of tones in a signal magnitude table; and decoding at least one symbol from the signal magnitude table by applying one of the plurality of demodulation schemes and one of the plurality of channel definitions to a sub-set of the magnitudes stored in the signal magnitude table, wherein the sub-set corresponds to one of the plurality of channels.
