Abstract:
1. A method for processing signals, the method comprising: receiving signals from at least two non-contiguous channels, wherein the at least two non-contiguous channels are within a predetermined bandwidth, and wherein each of the at least two non-contiguous channels has a center frequency; utilizing an average of the center frequencies of the at least two non-contiguous channels to down convert the at least two non-contiguous channels to a combined intermediate frequency (IF) channel that has a center frequency that is an average of a difference between the center frequencies of the at least two non-contiguous channels; down converting the combined IF channel to a combined channel at a baseband frequency; and recovering the at least two non-contiguous channels from the combined channel at a baseband frequency utilizing an upper sideband and lower sideband recovery mechanism.
