Abstract:
Disclosed are structures and methods for slicing a broadband signal into multiple, narrower bandwidth sub-bands through the use of a look-up table (LUT). An input broadband signal is first loaded by a pre-defined LUT. The LUT is designed with multiple parallel outputs, wherein each output is one individual sub-band.
