1. A WLAN system, comprising:
- an Analog Front-End (AFE) circuit, for converting digital baseband data into analog baseband data or converting analog baseband data into digital baseband data;
a Radio Frequency (RF) circuit, coupled to the AFE circuit, for converting the analog baseband data into an RF signal and transmitting the RF signal, or receiving and converting a received RF signal into the analog baseband data; and
a baseband circuit, coupled to the AFE circuit, for processing the digital baseband data and dynamically setting parameters of the AFE circuit, the RF circuit, or both the AFE and RF circuits to adjust a power consumption level according to a content of the digital baseband data.
