Abstract: Various embodiments relate to a method and circuit for combining channels, the method including receiving, by a matching and smoothing filter, a signal from an analog to digital converter and extracting a root mean square signal level, receiving, by a noise power detector (“NPD”), the signal from the ADC and assessing noise contribution on the signal and receiving, by a maximum ratio combiner, the signal from the matching and smoothing filter wherein a combiner selects between using a geometric sum and an arithmetic sum to combine the channels.

Abstract: Embodiments are provided for a method of operating a receiver system, the receiver system comprising one or more channels, the method comprising: monitoring a residual DC (direct current) offset in a present channel by sampling an output of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) of the present channel; adjusting a DCO (direct current offset) correction signal that corresponds to the residual DC offset in response to an absolute value of the residual DC offset exceeding a programmable DCO threshold; and subtracting the DCO correction signal from an analog signal provided to the ADC to reduce the residual DC offset below the programmable DCO threshold.
