Abstract: A multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) receiver includes circuitry to receive a MIMO transmission through a plurality of antennas over a channel comprising two or more 20 MHz portions of bandwidth. The MIMO transmission comprises a plurality of streams, each transmitted over a corresponding spatial channel and configured for reception by multiple user stations. The MIMO receiver also includes circuitry to simultaneously accumulate signal information within at least two or more of the 20 MHz portions of bandwidth. Each 20 MHz portion comprises a plurality of OFDM subcarriers. The MIMO receiver also includes circuitry to demodulate at least one of the steams using receive beamforming techniques. In this way, multi-user protocol data units can be received.

Abstract: A quasi-parallel receiver may simultaneously receive signals within several subchannels that comprise a wideband channel. The receiver includes a subchannel filter selection switch that provides a baseband signal to a selected one of a plurality of subchannel low-pass filters. A heterodyne frequency generator provides one of a plurality of heterodyne frequencies to convert an RF signal received within a selected subchannel to the baseband signal. The subchannel low-pass filters accumulate signal information from an associated one of a plurality of subchannels during a filter-input sampling interval. In some embodiments, individual analog-to-digital converters receive the accumulated signal outputs from an associated subchannel filter and generate digital signals for a subsequent Fourier transformation. In some embodiments, a normalized signal output may be provided to the analog-to-digital converters, allowing the use of lower resolution analog-to-digital converters.
