Abstract:
1. A broadcast satellite single wire interface, comprising: a low noise block amplifier module having multiple outputs; a plurality of filter banks, each filter bank coupled to each of the outputs of the low noise block amplifier module in a respective fashion and comprising a plurality of filters; a plurality of analog-to-digital (A/D) converters, each A/D converter coupled to a filter in the plurality of filters in the plurality of filter banks in a respective fashion; a plurality of Hilbert transformers and a plurality of Fourier transformers, each Hilbert transformer coupled in series with a corresponding Fourier transformer and in series with a corresponding A/D converter in the plurality of A/D converters; and a combiner, coupled to outputs of the plurality of Fourier transformers, for combining signals output from the Fourier transformers in a digital manner, wherein the A/D converters directly sample incoming downconverted broadcast satellite signals and the sampled incoming downconverted broadcast signals are output on a single wire from the combiner in a stacked output.
