Methods and systems are provided for loop-through for multi-chip communication systems. Receiver circuitry, that is operable to receive one or more input feeds, may comprise a plurality of chips, each of which may be configurable to generate a corresponding output comprising one or more feed elements (e.g., channels) extracted from the input feed(s). However, only a first chip may be operable to handle reception and/or initial processing of the one or more input feeds, with each one of the remaining chips processing a loop-through feed generated by the first chip, in order to generate the corresponding output of that chip. The first chip generates the loop-through feed based on the one or more input feeds, such as after the initial processing thereof in the first chip. Generating the loop-through feed may comprise applying channelization (e.g., separately for each remaining chip), switching based processing, and/or interfacing based processing.
