Patent ID: 7593704

Claim:
A method of converting an analog signal to a digital signal, wherein the analog signal has a frequency of approximately 60 GHz, the method comprising: receiving at least two analog signals operating at approximately 60 GHz with a plurality of antennas; processing the at least two analog signals in parallel; feeding a first analog signal received from the plurality of antennas to a first amplifier; feeding a second analog signal received from the plurality of antennas to a second amplifier; amplifying the first and second analog signals to create a first cleaned signal and a second cleaned signal; converting the frequency of the first and second cleaned signals by down converting the first and second cleaned signals; demodulating a first down converted signal for clock signal and data signal recovery; demodulating a second down converted signal for clock signal and data signal recovery; synchronizing in parallel the demodulated signals; correlating the demodulated signals to known sequences for alignment; and outputting a combined digital signal.
