Abstract
Embodiments for processing signals are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving signals from at least two non-contiguous channels, where the at least two non-contiguous channels are within a predetermined bandwidth, and where each of the at least two non-contiguous channels has a center frequency. The method also includes utilizing an average of the center frequencies of the at least two non-contiguous channels to down convert the at least two non-contiguous channels to a combined intermediate frequency (IF) channel that has a center frequency that is an average of a difference between the center frequencies of the at least two non-contiguous channels. The method also includes down converting the combined IF channel to a combined channel at a baseband frequency. The method also includes recovering the at least two non-contiguous channels from the combined channel at a baseband frequency utilizing an upper sideband and lower sideband recovery mechanism.
