Summary:Selectively enabling an amplitude processing circuit and a phase processing circuit of a wireless station's polar receiver with respect to reception of a beacon signal. Such systems and methods may include sequentially demodulating symbols of the received beacon signal using at least the phase processing circuit to detect a traffic indication signal value in a data payload portion of the received beacon signal. Upon detecting a condition indicating no data traffic for the wireless station, the phase processing circuit may be turned off. The polar receiver may demodulate symbols of the received beacon signal and upon detecting a beacon preamble symbol sequence, shut off the amplitude processing circuit and set the amplitude to a fixed value. The phase processing circuit in conjunction with the fixed amplitude value may be used to demodulate symbols of the beacon signal.
