Abstract
A device (100) for processing an input signal (102), the device (100) comprising a delay unit (104) adapted for delaying the input signal (102) by a predefined delay time, at least one phase shifting unit (106) each adapted for phase shifting the delayed input signal (108) by an assigned phase value, a plurality of mixer units (110) each adapted for mixing the input signal (102) with the delayed input signal (108) or with one of the at least one phase shifted signal (112), and an extraction unit (114) adapted for extracting information from each of the mixed signals (116).
Claims19
A device for processing an input signal, the device comprising:
- a delay unit adapted for delaying the input signal by a predefined delay time;
- a plurality of phase shifting units each adapted for phase shifting the delayed input signal by an assigned phase value, wherein the assigned phase values are equally distributed;
- a plurality of mixer units one of which being adapted for mixing the input signal with the delayed input signal and at least another one of which being adapted for mixing the input signal with one of the phase shifted signals;
- and
- an extraction unit adapted for extracting information from each of the mixed signals.
A method of processing an input signal, the method comprising:
- delaying the input signal by a predefined delay time;
- phase shifting the delayed input signal by a plurality of equally distributed phase values to generate a corresponding plurality of phase shifted signals;
- mixing the input signal with the delayed input signal;
- mixing the input signal with each of the phase shifted signals;
- and
- extracting information from each of the mixed signals.
