Abstract

According to one embodiment, an apparatus includes a digital signal processor configured to perform a multiple antenna detection portion of a baseband signal processing process using a first floating point processing unit, and perform all other portions of the baseband signal processing process using a half-precision floating point processing unit. The first floating point processing unit has a bit width that is larger than the bit width of the half-precision floating point processing unit.
