Abstract
This paper proposes, based on a bandpass sampling theory, a novel method to find valid sampling frequency range and minimum sampling rate with low computational complexity for downconversion of multiple bandpass radio frequency (RF) signals. Guard-bands or spacing between adjacent downconverted signal spectrums are also taken into consideration in determining sampling frequency for practical implementation. Moreover, we verify through comparison with other method that the proposed method has more advantageous properties.
