A low cost millimeter wave receiver and method for operating same is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving the first signal, converting the first signal of the first bandwidth into an intermediate frequency band, splitting the converted first signal into N of intermediate signals, each having a bandwidth less than the digital processor bandwidth, wherein N is an integer greater than one, downconverting each of the N intermediate signals to the second frequency band, processing the downconverted plurality of signals with the digital processor to generate N processed signals, upconverting each of the N processed signals to the intermediate frequency band, converting the upconverted signals to the third frequency band, and transmitting the converted signals.
