Abstract

See full text

Methods and systems are provided for converting wideband analog radio frequency (RF) signals. In an implementation, a first wideband analog RF signal may be received and handled. The first wideband analog RF signal comprises one or more first narrowband analog RF signals, with a total of bandwidths of the one or more first narrowband analog RF signals is less than a total bandwidth of the first wideband analog RF signal. Handling the first wideband analog RF signal may including selecting a first subset of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) from a plurality of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), with the number of ADCs in the first subset of ADCs being less than a total number of ADCs in the plurality of ADCs, and only the first subset of ADCs may be enabled. Only the one or more first narrowband analog RF signals may be analog-to-digital converted via the first subset of ADCs.
