Abstract

Embodiments herein describe an integrated circuit with a digital front end (DFE) that includes multiple hardened mixers that can be configured to support multiple different radio paths. The DFE provides the ability to distribute the processing across the multiple mixers, which can be combined and synchronized to create a larger mixer or may be used in other combinations to create multiple discrete mixers.
