Patent ID: 8630578

Claim:
A satellite radio receiver capable of receiving broadcasts from different satellite radio services, comprising: a common S-band antenna and analog tuner; a common A/D converter; partially shared TDM signal processing, said shared TDM signal processing including at least one of: (i) storing two sets of channel isolation filtering co-efficients in a ROM table and selected based upon which satellite service is then active; and utilizing a single channel isolation filter to accommodate both satellite services, tuned to the service with larger TDM bandwidth, and (ii) storing two sets of matched filter coefficients in hardware and selected based upon which satellite service is then active; and utilizing a single matched filter to accommodate both satellite services, tuned either to one of the satellite services or designed to split the difference between the two; and partially shared COFDM processing; wherein a common microprocessor is used to control tuner/baseband chip functionality and to perform audio decoding.
