Method and system for variable resolution data conversion in a receiver

A method comprising:

• filtering a received plurality of signals to select an in-band signal and an out-of-band signal, said in-band signal and said out-of-band signal each being an analog signal;
• measuring a signal strength of said out-of-band signal;
• adjusting a resolution of an analog-to-digital converter based on said signal strength of said out-of-band signal;
• and
• converting said in-band signal to a digital representation via said analog-to-digital converter.

A system comprising:

• one or more circuits for use in a receiver, said one or more circuits comprising one or more filters and an analog-to-digital converter, said one or more circuits being operable to:
• filter a received plurality of signals to select an in-band signal, said in-band signal being an analog signal;
• measure a signal strength of said in-band signal;
• adjust a resolution of said analog-to-digital converter based on said signal strength of said in-band signal;
• and
• convert said in-band signal to a digital representation via said analog-to-digital converter.
