Abstract
A receiver receives analog signals at radio frequency (RF), and the RF analog signals are converted into the digital domain. As such, the receiver does not require frequency conversion stage(s) prior to analog to digital conversion. For example, the receiver can comprise at least one antenna(s) which receives radio frequency (RF) analog signals at different frequency bands. The analog RF signals are provided to a single analog to digital (A/D) converter, and the A/D converter converts the analog RF signals at the different frequency bands into digital signals within the Nyquist bandwidth. By properly selecting the sampling rate of the A/D converter for the RF analog signals, the A/D converter can produce replicas of the different frequency bands of the analog signals in non-overlapping portions of the Nyquist bandwidth.
