System for processing data streams
First Claim
1. A method for processing data streams comprising:
- passing a first analog signal through a first channel;
passing a second analog signal through a second channel parallel to said first channel;
passing a third analog signal through a third channel, wherein said third analog signal carries information associated with said first and second analog signals;
passing a fourth analog signal through a fourth channel parallel to said third channel, wherein said fourth analog signal carries information associated with said first and second analog signals;
performing a first analog-to-digital conversion to convert said third analog signal into a first digital signal;
performing a second analog-to-digital conversion to convert said fourth analog signal into a second digital signal;
passing a third digital signal through a fifth channel, wherein said third digital signal carries information associated with said first and second digital signals; and
passing a fourth digital signal through a sixth channel parallel to said fifth channel, wherein said fourth digital signal carries information associated with said first and second digital signals.

Abstract
A system for processing data streams or signals includes a wave-front multiplexer configured to process first and second input signals into first and second output signals each carrying information associated with the first and second input signals, a first processing unit configured to process a third input signal carrying information associated with the first output signal into a third output signal, a second processing unit configured to process a fourth input signal carrying information associated with the second output signal into a fourth output signal, and a wave-front demultiplexer configured to process fifth and sixth input signals into fifth and sixth output signals each carrying information associated with the fifth and sixth input signals. The fifth input signal carries information associated with the third output signal, and the sixth input signal carries information associated with the fourth output signal.

18. A system for processing data streams comprising:
-
a first processor configured to receive a first analog signal from a first input port of said first processor and receive a second analog signal from a second input port of said first processor parallel to said first input port of said first processor; a first analog-to-digital converter configured to receive a third analog signal from a first input port of said first analog-to-digital converter, wherein said third analog signal carries information associated with said first and second analog signals, perform a first analog-to-digital conversion to convert said third analog signal into a first digital signal, and output said first digital signal from an output port of said first analog-to-digital converter; a second analog-to-digital converter configured to receive a fourth analog signal from an input port of said second analog-to-digital converter, wherein said fourth analog signal carries information associated with said first and second analog signals, perform a second analog-to-digital conversion to convert said fourth analog signal into a second digital signal and output said second digital signal from an output port of said second analog-to-digital converter; and a second processor configured to output a third digital signal from a first output port of said second processor, wherein said third digital signal carries information associated with said first and second digital signals, and output a fourth digital signal from a second output port of said second processor parallel to said first output port of said second processor, wherein said fourth digital signal carries information associated with said first and second digital signals. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
