METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR HYBRID ANALOG AND DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING AND ROUTING

Abstract

Embodiments here broadly relate to a system which allows for flexibly, and adaptively, accommodating for various analog and digital streams. In one example case, the system can accommodate for the use of both legacy modems as well as newer digital modems. The system may not require the use of complex and expensive, very high data rate and/or very high throughput wideband digital switches in some architectures, as well as potentially eliminating the need for some additional processing equipment found in traditional architectures (i.e., wideband signal processors (WSP), legacy modem data converts (LDMCs), etc.).

Description

Claims

1. A system comprising: a communication subsystem for receiving and transmitting analog signals;one or more downstream digital devices;at least one analog router coupled between the communication subsystem, and the one or more downstream analog and digital devices, wherein the at least one analog router comprises one or more digital conversion subsystems (DCS) which couple to the one or more downstream digital devices to convert between the analog and digital domains.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the communication subsystem comprises an antenna.
