Abstract

Various antennas may benefit from improved signaling. For example, it may be helpful for a signal in a high occupied bandwidth environment to be compressed using a block floating point format, which can also help to reduce power consumption. A method may include separating an incoming signal at a digital front end or a converter into two alternating signals comprising a coarse signal and a fine signal. The method may also include transmitting the coarse signal and the fine signal from the digital front end to the converter or from the converter to the digital front end. The coarse signal and the fine signal may be combined to generate an approximation of the incoming signal.
