Patent ID: 8340724

Claim:
A method for receiving signals at a first electronics from a second electronics operatively connected to a first and second antenna, comprising: receiving, at the first electronics, a composite signal transmitted by the second electronics, the composite signal comprising a first signal centered about a first center frequency and a second signal centered about a second center frequency, wherein the method further comprises second electronics: receiving the first signal from the first antenna, wherein the first signal is centered about the second center frequency when received from the first antenna; receiving the second signal from the second antenna, wherein the second signal is centered about the second center frequency when received from the first antenna; translated translating the first signal to be centered about the first center frequency; and combining the second signal with the translated first signal to form the composite signal; wherein the method further comprises the first electronics, subsequent to receiving the composite signal, retranslating the first signal to be centered about the second center frequency for processing.
