Abstract
An apparatus and method thereof for sampling multipath signal data in a receiver. The apparatus includes a plurality of demodulators coupled in parallel, each of the plurality of demodulators receiving digital baseband signal data and demodulating the digital baseband signal data, a controller coupled to the plurality of demodulators, and a timer coupled to the controller. The timer generates a controller interrupt at a specified frequency. The controller interrupt causes the controller to sample demodulated signal data from the plurality of demodulators. The specified frequency is greater than the symbol rate.
