Abstract
A system for demodulating narrowband signals from a received signal is disclosed. The system includes a downconverter that is operative to downconvert the received signal. Furthermore, the system includes a baseband processor that is configured to decode the narrowband signal from the received signal, as well as decode wideband signals. In this respect, the system is operative to demodulate both narrowband and wideband signals without the use of separate demodulation paths.

20. A wireless wideband receiver operative to receive at least one 200 kHz (wideband) channel, the receiver comprising:
-
an antenna operative to detect a received signal;
a switch filter in electrical communication with the antenna, the switch filter being operative to switch between the received signal and a transmitted signal;
an amplifier in electrical communication with the switch filter, the amplifier being operative to increase the gain of the received signal;
a mixer in electrical communication with the amplifier, the mixer being operative to mix the received signal with a radio frequency oscillation signal;
a demodulator in electrical communication with the mixer, the demodulator being operative to demodulate the received signal with an intermediate frequency oscillation signal;
an analog to digital converter in electrical communication with the demodulator, the analog to digital converter being operative to convert the received signal to a digital signal; and
a baseband processor in electrical communication with the analog to digital converter, the baseband processor being configured to decode the narrowband channel from the received signal. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)
