Abstract

In one embodiment an apparatus includes: a mixer to downconvert a radio frequency (RF) spectrum including at least a first RF signal of a first channel of interest and a second RF signal of a second channel of interest to at least a first second frequency signal and a second second frequency signal; a first digitizer to digitize the first second frequency signal to a first digitized signal, the first digitizer configured to operate as a low-pass analog-to-digital converter (ADC); a second digitizer to digitize the second second frequency signal to a second digitized signal, the second digitizer configured to operate as a band-pass ADC; and a digital processor to digitally process the first digitized signal and the second digitized signal.
