Abstract
A first analog signal may be sampled during a first time period in accordance with a first sampling range and a sampling resolution step size, where a first digital sequence may be outputted during the first time period based on sampling the first analog signal.
Claims31
A method for communications at a device, comprising:
- sampling, during a first time period, a first analog signal in accordance with a first sampling range and a first sampling resolution step size over the first sampling range;
- outputting, during the first time period, a first digital sequence based at least in part on sampling the first analog signal during the first time period;
- adapting, based at least in part on a metric of interference associated with the device, the first sampling range to a second sampling range, wherein a second sampling resolution step size over the second sampling range changes no more than 10% from the first sampling resolution step size over the first sampling range;
- sampling, during a second time period, a second analog signal in accordance with the second sampling range;
- and
- outputting, during the second time period and based at least in part on the sampling, a second digital sequence based at least in part on the second analog signal.
3 more elements
An apparatus for communications, comprising:
- an antenna configured to output a first analog signal and a second analog signal;
- and
- a signal converter coupled with the antenna and configured to:
- convert the first analog signal to a first digital sequence in accordance with a first sampling range and a sampling resolution step size, wherein the first sampling range of the signal converter is adaptable to a second sampling range while the sampling resolution step size of the signal converter over the second sampling range changes no more than 10% from the sampling resolution step size over the first sampling range, and wherein the signal converter is further configured to adapt the first sampling range to the second sampling range for the second analog signal based at least in part on a metric of interference;
- and
- output the first digital sequence based at least in part on converting the first analog signal and a second digital sequence based at least in part on converting the second analog signal.
