Patent ID: 11394390

Abstract:
A wide-band analog input signal is converted into a digital output signal on the basis of a band division method without the need for filter circuits. An analog processing block Aj (j=2 to N, where N is an integer) down-converts an analog input signal Sx using a cutoff frequency fj-1 of a channel CHj-1 and A/D-converts an analog signal Saj acquired as a result. A digital processing block Bj doubles the signal strength of a first digital signal S1j acquired by Aj, subtracts a third digital signal S3j-1 of the channel CHj-1 from a second digital signal S2j acquired as a result, up-converts the acquired third digital signal S3j using the cutoff frequency fj-1, and outputs the result to an adder as a channel output signal Syj of a corresponding channel CHj.
