Abstract
A device may include a measurement receiver, a communication receiver, and a transmitter. The measurement receiver may include a receiver (RX) down-conversion component to receive an amplified signal from a low-noise amplifier of the communication receiver, selectively receive a signal from a first local oscillator associated with the communication receiver or a second local oscillator associated with the transmitter, and down-convert the amplified signal to baseband using the received signal from the first local oscillator or the second local oscillator. The measurement receiver may further include a delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to provide low quantization noise only for a particular frequency range to be measured, and a control component to configure the delta-sigma ADC to provide the low quantization noise at the particular frequency range.
