8.3.4 Receive Subsystem

The AWRL6888 receive subsystem integrates 8 RX channels (RX0A, RX0B, RX1A, RX1B, RX2A, RX2B, RX3A, and RX3B) supported by 4 baseband processing chains in a 2:1 multiplexed configuration. The channels are organized into 4 pairs (RXnA and RXnB), where each pair is multiplexed onto a shared baseband processing chain. As a result, the two channels within the same pair cannot be enabled simultaneously, allowing up to four recieve channels to operate simultaneously. Each active receive channel consists of a low-noise amplifier (LNA), mixer, IF filtering, ADC conversion, and decimation. The device employs a real baseband architecture, utilizing a real mixer with single IF and ADC chains to deliver output for each receiver channel. Individual receive channels can be powered down independently based on system power requirements and application design. The device is targeted for fast chirp systems. The band-pass IF chain supports a configurable lower cutoff frequency above 175 kHz and can accommodate bandwidths up to 10 MHz

Refer to Table 8-3 for the receive channel to BGA pin mapping.

Figure 8-4 describes the receive subsystem.
