Abstract:
1. A receiver comprising a front-end, the front end including: a plurality of input coupling paths to route a corresponding plurality of analog input signals received from one or more transmission sources; a plurality of low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) to generate a plurality of amplified analog input signals from the plurality of analog input signals, each of the plurality of LNAs coupled to at least one of the plurality of input coupling paths; a plurality of equalizers to generate a plurality of equalized signals from the plurality of amplified analog input signals, each of the plurality of equalizers coupled to at least one of the plurality of input coupling paths and at least one of the plurality of LNAs; a weighted adder coupled to each of the plurality of equalizers, the weighted adder to generate a composite equalized signal from the plurality of equalized signals; an analog to digital converter (ADC) coupled to the weighted adder, the ADC to generate a digitized signal from the composite equalized signal; and a digital signal processor (DSP) coupled to the ADC to receive the digitized signal therefrom, the DSP being adapted to demodulate the digitized signal.
