An RF radio receiver utilizing wideband RF technology, a wideband digital IF
(channelizer)
tuner, a common digitizing rate, and multi-user detection (MUD) processes a superposed
RF signal to allow simultaneous reception of two or more RF signals sharing overlapping
frequency spectrum (RF bandwidth). The RF radio receiver is particularly effective
for two or more RF signals of differing RF channel bandwidth and can also receive
signals which accord to different air interface standards. The use of a common
digitizing rate provides for oversampling of at least one of the RF signals for
more accurate decoding and allows for a synchronized signal (i.e. at a common rate)
to be used in decoding, and in particular multi-user decoding of other RF signals.
