  • Method and device for the analog processing of a radio signal for a radio frequency receiver
    Patent number: 8059760
    Abstract: A device processes a received radio signal. Circuitry formulates voltage samples of the radio signal. Analog processing of those samples is performed. Then, digital processing is performed on the output of the analog processing. The circuitry for formulating voltage samples is configured to ensure a processing of the samples prior to the digital processing.
