A receiver for a multi-channel communication system can include a down-converter device, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and a plurality of digital channel selection devices. The down-converter device can be configured to down-convert a plurality of analog signals from the multi-channel communication system to a plurality of corresponding low intermediate frequency (IF) signals. The ADC can be configured to convert the plurality of corresponding low-IF signals to a plurality of digital signals. Further, each digital channel selection device from the plurality of digital channel selection devices can be configured to select a digital signal corresponding to a channel of interest from the plurality of digital signals for further processing.
