Abstract
A wideband frequency signal digitizer and method for digitizing multiple bands of a wideband frequency signal. The digitizer and method providing for optimally positioning a segment (402) of the wideband frequency signal within a Nyquist band of an analog-to-digital converter. Remaining segments (402) of the wideband frequency signal are closely positioned relative to the first segment such that the entire wideband frequency signal (400) is easily digitized using a single or multiple analog-to-digital converters (36) while reducing or eliminating undesirable spurious signals.
