Patent ID: 7865166

Claim:
A software radio transceiver configured to permit a change in software according to a desired demodulation, comprising: a radio communication unit which receives a radio signal; a conversion unit which converts the radio signal received by the radio communication unit into digital data; a plurality of demodulating units which demodulate sub-data, wherein each of said demodulating units is implemented by software having a configuration that can be changed according to the desired demodulation; a dividing unit which divides the digital data converted by the conversion unit into a plurality of sub-data and distributes each of the plurality of sub-data to one of the demodulating units; and a connection unit, coupled to the demodulating units, which combines each of the demodulated sub-data from the demodulating units with each other and outputs the combined demodulated sub-data from the demodulating units as a demodulated radio signal.
