Techniques for the reception and processing of wireless signals are disclosed. For instance, an apparatus may include a first hardware module (e.g., a mixed signal module) and a second hardware module (e.g., a digital signal module). The first hardware module may convert an analog signal corresponding to a received wireless signal into a digital signal having a first sampling rate. In turn, channel filtering may be performed on this digital signal. Following this, the filtered digital signal may be resampled from the first sampling rate to a second sampling rate. At this point, the resampled signal may be transferred across an interface from the first hardware module to the second hardware module. Upon receipt, the second hardware module may correct a sampling rate error in the second sampling rate, and demodulate the digital signal into one or more symbols.
