Abstract:
1. A wireless communications device comprising: an antenna to receive and transmit radio frequency (RF) signals; a RF transceiver coupled to the antenna, the RF transceiver containing circuitry to convert RF signals into a digital data stream, the RF transceiver comprising a current-mode sampling mixer, the mixer comprising at least one programmable sample stream decimating circuit coupled to the antenna, the sample stream decimating circuit containing circuitry to decimate RF signals by a settable decimating ratio to produce a decimated sample stream; a digital baseband (DBB) controller coupled to the RF transceiver, the DBB controller containing circuitry to digitally process the digital data stream provided by the RF transceiver and convert it into user usable data; and a memory coupled to the DBB controller, the memory containing storage elements to store data and programs.
