ABSTRACT:
A radio receiver uses the same tuner for receiving a selected wideband digital signal of at least a few megahertz bandwidth, such as a digital television (DTV) signal, irrespective of whether it is a quadrature-amplitude-modulation (QAM) or a vestigial sideband (VSB) signal accompanied by an unmodulated pilot carrier signal; and a second transmission standard specifies quadrature amplitude modulation. It is determined at the receiver which of respective modulation formats specified for the various transmission standards is employed for transmitting the wideband digital signal being received. The wideband digital signal is demodulated to produce a demodulated signal, demodulation be done according to a demodulation format suitable for demodulating the modulation format determined to be employed for transmitting the wideband digital signal. The demodulated signal produced by demodulating the wideband digital signal according to this demodulation format is further processed according to the transmission standard determined at the receiver to have been employed for transmitting the wideband digital signal.
