Digital Upconversion and Downconversion
Abstract
Digital upconversion is the process of moving the frequency content of a baseband signal to a much high frequency. Digital downconversion is the opposite process. The process is described intuitively as well as mathematically using previously developed concepts. In addition, the role of analog-to-digital convertor and digital-to-analog convertor in this process is discussed.

Previously, we talked about complex modulation and baseband signals. The whole point of this is to create a signal that can be used to carry the information bits from one location to another, whether over copper wire, a fiber optic ...
