Multiple frequency band information signal universal front end with adjustable ADC(s)

A wireless device comprising:

• processing circuitry operable to:
• determine a set of information signals for receipt, the set of information signals carried by a Radio Frequency (RF) Multiple Frequency Bands Multiple Standards (MFBMS) signal having a plurality of information signal frequency bands;
• determine a shift frequency based upon the determination;
• an antenna operable to receive the RF MFBMS signal;
• a receiver section coupled to the antenna and to the processing circuitry and comprising:
• down-conversion circuitry operable to down-convert the RF MFBMS signal by the shift frequency to produce a baseband/low Intermediate Frequency (BB/IF) MFBMS signal;
• and
• a tunable analog to digital converter (ADC) operable to digitize the BB/IF MFBMS signal, the tunable ADC tunable by the processing circuitry based upon spectral characteristics of the BB/IF MFBMS signal wherein the tunable ADC is coupled to receive inputs to adjust at least one of:
• a sample rate of the ADC;
• a bandwidth of the ADC;
• a dynamic range of the ADC;
• and
• a signal to noise ration of the ADC;
• and
• the processing circuitry operable to extract data from the BB/IF MFBMS signal corresponding to the set of information signals.
