Abstract

A method of manufacturing a radio frequency receiver module includes supporting a baseband processor on a base. A feature choice for the module is determined. The feature choice includes an antenna type, an RF type, or a stack type. An optional hardware component is selectively installed or omitted on the base dependent upon the determined feature choice.

Claims (40)

1. A method of manufacturing a radio frequency receiver module, said method comprising the steps of:

providing a base;

supporting a baseband processor on the base;

determining a first feature choice for the module, the first feature choice comprising one of:

an antenna;

a receiver; and

a stack of digital information;

selectively installing or omitting a first optional hardware component on the base dependent upon the determining step;

ascertaining a second feature choice for the module, the second feature choice comprising one of:

an audio format;

a ribbon cable connector;

a market in which the module will operate;

a memory size; and

a radio frequency connector; and

selectively installing or omitting a second optional hardware component on the base dependent upon the ascertaining step.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the audio format comprises SPDIF audio format or I2S audio format.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the ribbon cable connector comprises a J100 ribbon cable connector or a J101 ribbon cable connector.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the market in which the module will operate comprises a geographic area to which the module is to be delivered.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the memory size comprises a size of a memory device that is electrically connected to the baseband processor.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the radio frequency connector comprises a connector that is adapted to receive an RF signal from an antenna.

7. A method of manufacturing a radio frequency receiver module, said method comprising the steps of:

providing a base;

supporting a baseband processor on the base;

determining a first feature choice for the module, the first feature choice comprising one of:

an antenna;

a receiver; and

a stack of digital information;

selectively installing a first optional hardware component on the base dependent upon the determining step;

selectively omitting a second optional hardware component on the base dependent upon the determining step;

ascertaining a second feature choice for the module, the second feature choice comprising one of:

an audio format;

a ribbon cable connector;

a market in which the module will operate;

a memory size; and

a radio frequency connector; and

selectively installing or omitting a third optional hardware component on the base dependent upon the ascertaining step.

8. The method of claim 7 wherein the audio format comprises SPDIF audio format or I2S audio format, and the ribbon cable connector comprises a J100 ribbon cable connector or a J101 ribbon cable connector.

9. The method of claim 7 wherein the market in which the module will operate comprises a geographic area to which the module is to be delivered.

10. The method of claim 7 wherein the memory size comprises a size of a memory device that is electrically connected to the baseband processor.

11. The method of claim 7 wherein the radio frequency connector comprises a connector that is adapted to receive an RF signal from an antenna.
