12.2 2.4GHz Receiver
The 2.4GHz receiver downconverts the RF signal to quadrature baseband signals and converts
them to the digital domain with 2 high resolution high speed ADCs. To adapt to varying signal
channel conditions, RF filters, automatic gain control, DC offset cancelation circuits and
baseband filters are integrated within the radio.
