Abstract
An analog-to-digital converting includes a fanned out module for receiving an input signal and producing a plurality of new signals. A plurality of analog to digital converter modules receive the new signals from the fanned out module. Each of the new signals is assigned at least one of the analog to digital converters, such that the digital converter modules produce a plurality of digitized signals from each of their associated new signals. A combiner module receives the plurality of digitized signals, and combines the plurality of digitized signals to form a single digitized signal.
