Abstract

A device for receiving a broadband multi-channel radiofrequency signal includes a radiofrequency analog input stage connected to an intermediate-frequency conversion stage. The conversion stage includes at least one conversion chain having a frequency mixer that transposes the signal to an intermediate frequency connected to the input of an analog-digital converter with a high frequency sampling rate. The intermediate and sampling frequencies in each conversion chain are selected such that, considering the noise generated by the sampling overtones of the corresponding analog-digital converter, each of the radiofrequency signal channels has a signal/noise ratio that is greater at output than a predetermined value of at least one conversion chain.
