Patent ID: 8571119

Claim:
A Software Defined Radio (SDR) subsystem capable of supporting multiple communication standards, for modulation and demodulation of an input signal, said SDR subsystem comprising: a Signal Conditioning Cluster (SCC) unit; a Signal Processing Cluster (SPC) unit; and a Channel Codec Cluster (CCC) unit that performs a channel encoding and a channel decoding; wherein said SCC unit (i) receives a baseband signal from said SPC unit and produces a digital Intermediate Frequency (IF) signal for said modulation, and (ii) receives an IF signal from a tuner and produces a complex baseband signal for said demodulation; wherein said SPC unit (i) receives encoded bits from said CCC unit and produces said baseband signal for said modulation, and (ii) receives said complex baseband signal from said SCC unit and produces decision bits for said demodulation; wherein said CCC unit (i) receives said input signal and produces said encoded bits for said modulation, and (ii) receives said decision bits from said SPC unit and produces a decoded data for said demodulation.
