Abstract

A system and method for receiving radio frequency signals, comprising a plurality of analog signal couplers, for communicating a representation of a radio frequency signal; a respective analog to digital converter for each of said couplers, each having an output presenting a digital representation of the representation and an associated clock; a non-blocking switch matrix, receiving the plurality of outputs and associated clocks, and producing a plurality of regenerated outputs and associated regenerated clocks under selective control of a switch matrix signal; and a plurality of digital radio frequency signal processors, adapted to receive at least one regenerated output from the non-blocking switch matrix and associated regenerated clock.
