A Spectrum Regeneration and Demodulation Method for Multiple Direct Undersampled Real Signals

We propose a spectrum regeneration and demodulation method for multiple direct RF undersampled real signals by using a new algorithm. Many methods have been proposed to regenerate the RF spectrum by using undersampling because of its simple circuit architecture. However, it is difficult to regenerate the spectrum from a real signal that has a band wider than a half of the sampling frequency, because it is difficult to include complex conjugate relation of the folded spectrum into the linear algebraic equation in this case. We propose a new spectrum regeneration method from direct undersampled real signals that uses multiple clocks and an extended algorithm considering the complex conjugate relation. Simulations are used to verify the potential of this method. The validity of the proposed method is verified by using the simulation data and the measured data. We also apply this algorithm to the demodulation system.
