Abstract

A signal receiver may comprise circuitry for applying multi-level sampling to an input signal, using a plurality of sampling rates that comprises at least two different sampling rates, and circuitry for processing one or more outputs of the multi-level sampling. The processing may comprises sampling at a sampling rate that is different than each of the plurality of sampling rates used during the multi-level sampling and applying analog-to-digital conversion. At least one of the sampling rates used during the multi-level sampling and/or the sampling rate used during the processing may be set based on configuring of one or more clock signals used during the multi-level sampling and/or during the processing. At least one of the one or more clock signals may be configured based on reduction of frequency of a corresponding base clock signal.
