Abstract
Techniques for the selection of signals from multiple sources are disclosed. For instance, an apparatus may include a first tuner module, a second tuner module, and a multiplexer. The first tuner module generates a first tuned signal from a first RF signal, and the second tuner module generates a second tuned signal from a second RF signal. The first RF signal corresponds to a first signal source, and the second RF signal corresponds to a second signal source. Based on a selection signal, the multiplexer selects one of the first tuned signal and the second tuned signal.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- a first tuner module to generate a first tuned signal from a first RF signal;
- a second tuner module to generate a second tuned signal from a second RF signal;
- and
- a multiplexer to select one of the first tuned signal and the second tuned signal based on a selection signal;
- wherein the first RF signal corresponds to a first signal source, and the second RF signal corresponds to a second signal source.
