ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for digitizing a signal. The method comprises the steps of receiving an input analog signal, splitting the received input analog signal into a plurality of signals and frequency converting at least one of the signals in accordance with a predetermined periodic function having a predetermined frequency. The signals are then digitized and combined mathematically to form a single output stream that is a substantially correct representation of the original input analog signal.
