Abstract

Disclosed are various embodiments of an input signal combiner. In one embodiment, a receive stage receives a multi-phase waveform and separates the multi-phase waveform into a plurality of waveforms. Analog-to-digital converters convert the plurality of analog waveforms into at least one digital signal. At least one gain stage adjusts an amplitude of each of the digital signals and combines the amplitude adjusted digital signals into at least one gain adjusted combined signal. A signal extraction stage extracts an inbound signal from the at least one gain adjusted combined signal according to a demodulation scheme.
