System and method of communicating signals
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- one or more transmitters, wherein each of the one or more transmitters is configured to transmit a signal, and wherein the signal transmitted by each of the one or more transmitters corresponds to a different frequency;
plurality of receiver front-ends configured to receive the signal transmitted by each of the one or more transmitters;
a plurality of remodulator modules configured to translate each of the received signals to a signal having a respective intermediate frequency;
a combining module configured to combine each of the signals having respective intermediate frequencies to generate a single composite signal;
a single analog-to-digital converter configured to process the composite signal and generate a digital output; and
a digital signal processor module configured to extract the signal transmitted by each of the one or more transmitters.

Abstract
A communication system is presented. The system includes one or more transmitters configured to transmit a signal, where each of the signals generated by the one or more transmitters corresponds to a respective frequency. Further, the system includes a plurality of receiver front-ends configured to receive the signal transmitted by each of the one or more transmitters. The system also includes a plurality of remodulator modules configured to translate each of the received signals to a signal having a respective intermediate frequency. In addition, the system includes a combining module configured to combine each of the signals having respective intermediate frequencies to generate a single composite signal. Also, the system includes a single analog-to-digital converter configured to process the composite signal and generate a digital output. Additionally, the system includes a digital signal processor module configured to extract the signal transmitted by each of the one or more transmitters.

9. A method of communicating signals, the method comprising:
-
transmitting a signal via one or more transmitters, wherein each of the one or more transmitters is configured to transmit the signal at a respective frequency; receiving the transmitted signal via a plurality of receiver front-ends; converting each of the received signals to a respective signal having a respective intermediate frequency; combining each of the signals having respective intermediate frequencies to generate a single composite analog signal; processing the composite analog signal via an analog-to-digital converter to generate a digital output signal; processing the digital signal via a digital signal processor module to extract the signal transmitted by each of the one or more transmitters; and combining the individual copies of each of the transmitted signals to reconstruct the transmitted signal. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
