Abstract

A system, method, and receiver for receiving radio signals modulated according to different radio communication standards. Radio signals are received and downconverted to an intermediate frequency (IF) signal. An A/D-converter samples the IF signal at a sampling rate and digitizes the sampled signal into a digital signal. A channelizer filters out at least two modulated channels from the digital signal. A first ago channel is modulated according to a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) standard, and a second channel is modulated according to a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) standard. A first demodulating unit demodulates the TDMA channel, and a second demodulating unit demodulates the CDMA channel. Each of the demodulating units detects and, when needed, resamples each of the modulated channels individually, and delivers a corresponding demodulated channel. A Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) channel may also be received and processed.
