A method for sampling an analogue radiofrequency signal comprising reception of the analogue radiofrequency signal, sending of the received signal on two analogue channels, each channel performing a first signal sampling operation, including a filtering step eliminating signal frequencies that could fold on the useful signal during sampling such that the sampled signal represents a filtered version of the received signal, wherein the sampling frequency is taken to be equal to the frequency of the signal carrier divided by a factor Ndiv1+½, Ndiv1 being an integer number, to bring the useful signal to half of the sampling frequency after sampling.

A method for generating a signal with a frequency equal to a product of a reference frequency and a real number includes providing an output signal from an oscillator, and performing a first integer division of a frequency of the output signal by a first integer divider to obtain a first intermediate signal. A first measurement signal representative of a time difference between the first intermediate signal and a reference signal having the reference frequency is determined. The method further includes generating a first comparison signal derived from the first measurement signal, and generating a second comparison signal dependent on a period of the reference signal, on integer and decimal parts of the real number and on the first integer divider. The first and second comparison signals are compared to obtain an error signal representative of a time difference between a period of a current output signal and the period of the reference signal. The first integer division is deactivated to deliver an error signal to the input of the oscillator, with the output signal from the oscillator forming the desired signal with a frequency equal to the product of the reference frequency and the real number.

The invention relates to a method for the filtering and analog/digital conversion of an incoming analog signal including an analog filtering of the incoming analog signal so as to filter the frequency components located outside a desired frequency band, and a conversion of the filtered analog signal to a digital signal. The digital signal is reformatted in a form that is substantially similar, at least in the desired frequency band, to the form of the incoming analog signal. A final digital filtering of the reformatted digital signal is performed so as to filter the frequency components located outside the desired frequency band.

A method is for processing an incident signal, in which the incident signal is delivered to a transconductor stage, and a current output of the transconductor stage is coupled to an output capacitor so as to deliver to the output capacitor a current signal lasting for at least part of the first half-period of each period of a periodic signal and to thus obtain a frequency-transposed signal at the output capacitor. Upon the occurrence of each part of the first half-period, the voltage of the current output, seen from the output capacitor, is reset to a value equal to that of the voltage of the output capacitor.
