A cochlear heterodyning architecture for an RF fovea

We describe a novel wireless receiver architecture that is a broadband generalization of narrowband heterodyning systems commonly used in radio. It can be constructed with cochlea-like traveling-wave structures. We show how this architecture exploits the efficiency of cochlear spectrum analysis to p...
