Abstract:
1. A radio frequency (RF) transceiver comprises: a transmit baseband processing module coupled to: a digital to analog conversion module coupled to convert the stream of outbound symbols into analog signals when the RF transceiver is in the first transmit mode and to convert the plurality of block encoded streams of outbound symbols into a plurality of analog signals when the RF transceiver is in the second transmit mode; an up-conversion module coupled to convert the analog signals into up-converted signals when the RF transceiver is in the first transmit mode and to convert the plurality of analog signals into a plurality of up-converted signals when the RF transceiver is in the second transmit mode; an RF front-end that includes: a down-conversion module coupled to convert the adjusted inbound RF signals into analog inbound signals when the RF transceiver is in the first receive mode and to convert the plurality of adjusted inbound RF signals into a plurality of analog inbound signals when the RF transceiver is in the second receive mode; an analog to digital conversion module coupled to convert the analog inbound signals into a stream of inbound symbols when the RF transceiver is in the receive mode and to convert the plurality of analog inbound signals into a plurality of streams of inbound block encoded symbols; and a receive baseband processing module coupled to:
