Abstract

A system and method for providing a field configurable radio frequency communication system including an intermediate frequency digital signal processing circuit therefor. The intermediate frequency digital signal processing circuits includes digital transmitter and receiver circuit paths, a digital baseband circuit, control registers and an interface circuit. The transmitter and receiver circuit paths and the baseband circuits include digital processing circuits that are configurable by commands provided to the control register via the interface circuit to select the transmitter or receiver mode of operation, to select the signaling scheme of waveform employed, to configure the signal processing functions of the transmitter or receiver circuit paths, and to select the use of any of a plurality a baseband signal processing functions.
