Abstract
A signal is generated at a source and a first portion of the signal is processed locally by a processor This first portion of the signal that is locally processed, is comprised of data, which would be prone to noise masking or loss, in its transition from the source to a non-local analog-to-digital converter in the absence of a processing step. The remaining portion of the signal is converted at a non-local analog-to-digital converter , to produce a first digital signal The processed signal is converted non-locally at a non-local converter to produce a second digital signal finally the first digital signal is combined with the second digital signal to produce a digital output signal
