First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of digitizing and detecting a received signal comprising the steps of:
- digitizing a first radio frequency signal at a first clock rate to produce a first digitized signal;
digitizing a second radio frequency signal at a second clock rate to produce a second digitized signal;
performing a first signal quality measurement indicative of the signal quality of the first digitized signal, the first signal quality measurement comprising a synchronization measurement;
performing a second signal quality measurement indicative of the signal quality of the second digitized signal, the second signal quality measurement comprising a synchronization measurement; and
selecting at least one of the first and second digitized signals based on the first and second signal quality measurements.
