Abstract

A method for sampling an analogue radiofrequency signal comprising reception of the analogue radiofrequency signal, sending of the received signal on two analogue channels, each channel performing a first signal sampling operation, including a filtering step eliminating signal frequencies that could fold on the useful signal during sampling such that the sampled signal represents a filtered version of the received signal, wherein the sampling frequency is taken to be equal to the frequency of the signal carrier divided by a factor Ndiv1+½, Ndiv1 being an integer number, to bring the useful signal to half of the sampling frequency after sampling.
