Patent ID: 8117345

Claim:
A signal processing device configured to share signal processing of an input signal with a plurality of signal processing devices, the signal processing device comprising: signal processing means for performing signal processing on a first-bandwidth signal included in the input signal and having a first bandwidth in accordance with a processing capability of the signal processing device to generate a first output signal; and signal integration means for integrating a second output signal with the first output signal, thereby obtaining an integrated signal, and for outputting the integrated signal to a second different signal processing device that is configured to perform signal processing on a third-bandwidth signal included in the input signal and having a third bandwidth in accordance with a processing capability of the second different signal processing device, the second output signal being generated in a first different signal processing device by performing signal processing on a second-bandwidth signal included in the input signal and having a second bandwidth in accordance with a processing capability of the first different signal processing device.
