ABSTRACT:
A quadrature sampling system and method (BQS) and a hybrid quadrature sampling and channel equalization system and method (BQS/EQ) which convert input signals to baseband inphase and quadrature signal components. The BQS system includes an inphase signal channel including a first set of K filters, and a signal summer which sums the outputs of the first set of K filters to produce the inphase signal component; a quadrature signal channel including a second set of K filters, and a signal summer which sums the outputs of the second set of K filters to produce the quadrature signal component; and a controlled switch which provides input samples to the inphase and quadrature signal channels so that each filter of both channels receives one input sample of each sequence. The BQS/EQ system includes first and second sets of signal processing filter pairs, each pair including an inphase and a quadrature filter. A controlled switch alternately switches input samples between the first and second sets of signal processing filter pairs and applies selected ones of the input samples to each filter pair so that each filter pair receives one input sample of each sequence. The outputs of the filters pairs of each set are selectively provided to the inphase and quadrature signal summers.
