Patent ID: 7436911

Claim:
Receive path circuitry for a bandpass sampling receiver having folded Nyquist zones and ultra wideband pulse capabilities, comprising: wideband filter circuitry receiving an RF input signal, having a center frequency within a frequency range of interest and having a bandwidth less than or equal to the frequency range of interest and wide enough to cover multiple Nyquist zones associated with a modulated sampling clock; narrow band filter circuitry receiving the RF input signal and having a center frequency within a frequency range of interest and having a bandwidth less than the Nyquist bandwidth of the modulated sampling clock; and sampling circuitry configured to receive a filtered signal from the wideband filter circuitry, to receive a filtered signal from the narrow band filter circuitry, and to receive the modulated sampling clock signal as an input, the modulated sampling clock signal being configured to provide non-uniform sampling for signals within the multiple Nyquist zones.
