First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system, comprising:
- a first computer comprising a first interface module; and
a second computer comprising a second interface module;
wherein said first and second computers are coupled to a communication network, and wherein at least one of said first and second interface modules comprises a frequency down-converter comprising;
at least one sub-sampling switch that sub-samples an input signal to thereby transfer energy from said input signal;
at least one storage device, coupled to said at least one sub-sampling switch, for storing said transferred energy, wherein said stored energy forms a down-converted signal; and
a control module coupled to said at least one sub-sampling switch.
