Abstract:
Apparatus and methods for analog-to-digital conversion of quadrature receive signals are provided herein. In certain implementations, a transceiver system includes at least a first pair of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) associated with a first quadrature receiver channel and a second pair of ADCs associated with a second quadrature receiver channel. The first and second pairs of ADCs can provide analog-to-digital conversion of the same receive signal, but can have different noise profiles relative to one another, such as a low pass noise profile and a band pass noise profile. The transceiver system can further include a reconstruction filter for combining the outputs of at least the first and second pairs of ADCs to generate output signals associated with a lower overall noise profile relative to that of either pair of ADCs alone.
