The present invention provides a method of bandpass sampling which particularly includes the single-sideband signal conversion procedure prior to the sampling process in the purpose of lowering the required sampling frequency. Conversion of the bandpass RF signal into a single-sideband spectrum signal which has the spectrum components only in either the positive or the negative frequency domain is accomplished by bandpass-filtering, or more effectively by using a Hilbert transformer. This invention includes a method of finding the minimum sampling frequency for simultaneous frequency down-conversion of multiple RF bandpass signals. It is expected from this invention that the components additionally required in the RF receiver due to the proposed bandpass sampling method is the bandpass filters or the Hilbert transformer for single-sideband conversion, but the benefits from this invention could be the reduced ADC speed performance and the subsequent digital processing load in the receiver system because of the reduced data rates.
A bandpass sampling method of an analog RF signal receiving system which receives an analog RF signal and converts the analog RF signal into a digital signal by bandpass sampling with a single-sideband signal conversion, comprising:
