Abstract

A transceiver includes a radio frequency (RF) input, an RF channelized digital receiver, an RF wideband digital receiver, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC)/digital-to-analog converter (DAC), an RF channelized digital transmitter, and an RF output. The RF channelized digital receiver is configured to split an analog RF input signal into a plurality of sub-octave contiguous frequency band channels and to convert the channels to a plurality of first digital signals. The RF wideband receiver is configured to convert the analog RF input signal into a second digital signal. The ADC/DAC is configured to process each of the first and second digital signals to produce a plurality of third digital signals. The RF channelized digital transmitter is configured to convert each of the third digital signals into a plurality of analog output signals, to combine the analog output signals into an analog RF output signal, and to transmit the analog RF output signal.
