Abstract
A module for generating signal-reception options, the module being configured to receive at least one signal transmitted by at least one antenna; the generating module including at least one group of mixers and at least one input module; the at least one group of mixers including a number Y of mixers in which Y is an integer equal to or higher than 1; the at least one input module being coupled to the at least one group of mixers and configured to deliver a number Z of reception options available to receive the at least one signal, the number Z being determined depending at least on the number Y and/or on a number of types of signals received by the at least one group of mixers.
Claims11
A generating module for generating signal-reception options, said module being configured to receive at least one signal transmitted by at least one antenna, the generating module comprising:
- group of mixers comprising a number Y of mixers in which Y is an integer greater than 1;
- and
- an input module coupled to the group of mixers and configured to:
- determine a number Z of reception options available to receive said at least one signal,
- deliver, via the group of mixers, the number Z of reception options to a software defined radio (SDR),
- wherein:
- each of the Z reception options includes a combination of at least two signals provided to the SDR,
- the combination of the at least two signals of at least two of the Z reception options are different from one another, and
- the number Z being an integer greater than 1 and being determined depending at least on the number Y and a number of types of signals received by the at least one group of mixers.
