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 17):
The apparatus of  claim 14 ,\n wherein the first signal processing pathway is further configured to shape a frequency response of the first component signal by a first digital filter; wherein the second signal processing pathway is further configured to shape a frequency response of the second component signal by a second digital filter; and wherein the first digital filter and the second digital filter have reduced gain in at least a portion of the region of overlap to reduce artificial increases in the composite signal.
