Digital alias-free signal processing in the GHz frequency range

Abstract

The advanced Information Technology we call Digital Alias-free Signal Processing (DASP) is discussed in this paper to draw attention to the facts that, first, this technique has already reached a considerable degree of maturity so that it can now be used as a widely applicable Digital Signal Processing (DSP) tool and, second, that it is especially competitive in the area of Microwave and Radio Frequency (RF) signal processing. Its utility arises from its applicability to digital processing of signals at frequencies considerably exceeding half of the mean sampling rate, which traditionally limit classical DSP applications.
