Multi-frequency sampling system

A receiver comprising:

• an antenna to receive a radio frequency (RF) signal;
• and
• a sampling system comprising a plurality of channels, each channel including
• a first bandpass filter configured to filter the RF signal to generate a first filtered signal in a first frequency band,
• a second bandpass filter configured to filter the RF signal to generate a second filtered signal in a second frequency band,
• a first analog to digital converter (ADC) operating at a first sampling frequency and configured to convert the first filtered signal to a first digital signal, and
• a second ADC operating at a second sampling frequency and configured to convert the second filtered signal to a second digital signal, wherein the first frequency band is selected to avoid a first Nyquist boundary zone associated with the first sampling frequency and the second frequency band is selected to avoid a second Nyquist boundary zone associated with the second sampling frequency.

A method for analog signal sampling, the method comprising:

• filtering, by a first bandpass filter, a received radio frequency (RF) signal to generate a first filtered signal in a first frequency band;
• filtering, by a second bandpass filter, the received RF signal to generate a second filtered signal in a second frequency band;
• converting, by a first analog to digital converter (ADC), the first filtered signal to a first digital signal, the first ADC operating at a first sampling frequency;
• and
• converting, by a second ADC, the second filtered signal to a second digital signal, the second ADC operating at a second sampling frequency, wherein the first frequency band is selected to avoid a first Nyquist boundary zone associated with the first sampling frequency and the second frequency band is selected to avoid a second Nyquist boundary zone associated with the second sampling frequency.
