Patent ID: 7362694

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: a receiver to receive converted radio frequency (RF) signals having an in-phase component I and a quadrature component Q to recover data from a demodulated signal; an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) coupled to receive and convert the component I and component Q to digital I and Q components; and a switching circuit coupled to the ADC to select between the digital I and Q components to have the digital I component for input into an I channel input of a baseband processor and to have the digital Q component for input into a Q channel input of the baseband processor when the I and Q components are in correct phase relationship on a signal constellation map, but to select the digital Q component for input into the I channel input of the baseband processor and digital I component for input into the Q channel input of the baseband processor when the I and Q components are interchanged relative to their correct relationship.
