ABSTRACT:
In a wireless local area network (WLAN), receiving or transmitting signals having multiple modulation schemes can require the use of multiple clock rates. Providing these multiple clock rates significantly increases silicon area and power consumption, both of which are highly undesirably in a wireless device. A sequencing interpolator can advantageously reduce the number of clock rates by receiving signals at a first rate and outputting signals at a second rate. The sequencing interpolator can include a multiplexer network that selectively determines which coefficients are applied to certain signals. Coefficients are chosen to ensure that an error in a frequency domain is within a given tolerance. The multiplexer network can be controlled by a counter value. At a predetermined count, the interpolated output signal is discarded and the counter is reset.
