Patent ID: 8787822

Claim:
An audio system comprising: a processing module; a receiver module for receiving a radio frequency (RF) input signal of a given bandwidth, wherein the received RF input signal is associated with a plurality of radio stations, each radio station being associated with a given frequency within the given bandwidth of the received RF input signal; an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) coupled to the receiver, the ADC being configured to digitize the received RF input signal, the ADC being further coupled to the processing module; at least one memory storing computer-executable instructions, wherein the processing module is configured to access the at least one memory and execute the computer-executable instructions to perform a set of acts, the acts including: selecting a particular radio station from the plurality of radio stations, the selection being performed by selecting a portion of the digitized RF input signal associated with a particular frequency, wherein the particular frequency is associated with the particular radio station; shifting the particular frequency associated with the selected portion of the digitized RF input signal to an intermediate frequency (IF); demodulating the frequency shifted portion of the RF input signal associated with the particular radio station, the demodulation resulting in an output signal; and based on the output signal, generating at least one time division multiplexed signal.
