Abstract

A radio frequency (RF) receiver system that is configured to achieve high dynamic range may include at least one antenna and a plurality of receivers connected to the at least one antenna. The plurality of antennas may be configured to provide different gains. The RF receiver system may include an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter subsystem connected to the plurality of receivers. The A/D converter subsystem may include a plurality of A/D converters. An overall digitization range of the A/D converter subsystem may be greater than a digitization range of any of the plurality of A/D converters individually. The overall digitization range of the A/D converter subsystem may be sufficiently large so as to accommodate a desired dynamic range of the RF receiver system.
