Abstract:
Embodiments are described of devices and methods for processing a signal using a plurality of vector signal generators (VSGs). A digital signal may be provided to a plurality of signal paths, each of which may process a respective frequency band of the signal, the respective frequency bands having regions of overlap. The gain and phase of each signal path may be adjusted such that continuity of phase and magnitude are preserved through the regions of overlap. The adjustment of gain and phase may be accomplished by a complex multiply with a complex calibration constant. The calibration constant may be determined for each signal path by comparing the gain and phase of one or more calibration tones generated within each region of overlap. Each signal path may comprise a VSG to convert the respective signal to an analog signal, which may be combined to obtain a composite signal.

Claim (Index 20):
The apparatus of  claim 19 ,\n wherein the first signal processing pathway is further configured to decimate the first component signal to a rate that is less than or equal to a maximum sample rate of the first signal processing pathway, wherein said decimating the first component signal is performed after said shifting the first frequency band to baseband and before said converting the first frequency band; and wherein the second signal processing pathway is further configured to decimate the second component signal to a rate that is less than or equal to a maximum sample rate of the second signal processing pathway, wherein said decimating the second component signal is performed after said shifting the second frequency band to baseband and before said converting the second frequency band.
