Abstract
According to one aspect of the present invention, a controller is coupled to at least first and second signal processors (at least one of which includes analog demodulation circuitry and another of which includes digital demodulation circuitry). The controller may operate to disable the first signal processor responsive to a control signal that indicates that a second signal (corresponding to a demodulator output) is available from the second signal processor.
