    Abstract: A wireless electronic device having first and second baseband processors is provided. In one suitable arrangement, radio-frequency power splitters and adjustable low noise amplifiers may be form in the receive paths. The use of power splitters allow signals associated with the first and second baseband processors to be received in parallel. In another suitable arrangement, radio-frequency switches are used in place of the power splitters. The states of the switches may be controlled using at least one of the first and second baseband processors. The use of switches instead of power splitters requires that wake periods associated with the first baseband processor and wake periods associated with the second baseband processor are non-overlapping. To ensure minimal wake period collision, a wake period associated with the second baseband processor may be positioned at a midpoint between two successive wake periods associated with the first baseband processor.

    Abstract translation: 提供了具有第一和第二基带处理器的无线电子设备。 在一种合适的布置中,可以在接收路径中形成射频功率分配器和可调节的低噪声放大器。 功率分配器的使用允许并行地接收与第一和第二基带处理器相关联的信号。 在另一种合适的布置中,使用射频开关代替功率分配器。 可以使用第一和第二基带处理器中的至少一个来控​​制开关的状态。 使用开关而不是功率分配器要求与第一基带处理器相关联的唤醒周期和与第二基带处理器相关联的唤醒周期是不重叠的。 为了确保最小的唤醒周期冲突,与第二基带处理器相关联的唤醒周期可以位于与第一基带处理器相关联的两个连续的唤醒周期之间的中点处。
