20090175382 | PROCESS FOR RECEIVING A BROADBAND ELECTROMAGNETIC SIGNAL - In a process for receiving a broadband electromagnetic signal, the receiving spectrum is divided into n partial spectrums (n>1), which are subjected to parallel further processing in n channels. The resulting n partial signals are then demodulated into the base band, digitized by n equal-type analog-to-digital converters, and spectrally transformed by a fast Fourier Transform. Interfering edge effects at the transition to the respectively adjacent channel are compensated by amplitude and phase correction of the n partial signals for compensating.
