Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods are disclosed that implement multiple inter-chip (IC) links to communicate digital signals and data between multiple tuner circuit chips of a radio frequency (RF) antenna diversity system. The multiple IC communication links may be employed, for example, to simultaneously communicate different signals and/or data between individual tuner circuit chips of a multi-signal type antenna diversity system in an asynchronous manner, and may be employed to achieve simultaneous antenna diversity for multiple RF signal types using a scalable IC communication link architecture that includes multiple IC communication links to interconnect a varying number of RF tuner circuit chips.
