Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for multi-chip receivers with loop-through feeds. A receiver that comprises plurality of chips may receive one or more input feeds, with each of the chips generating a corresponding output comprising data (e.g., channels) extracted from the one or more input feeds. Only a first chip may 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 in the first chip, in order to generate the corresponding output of that chip. The loop-through feed may be generated based on the one or more input feeds. In this regard, the loop-through feed may comprise at least one of the one or more input feeds that is partially processed in the first one of the plurality of chips.
