Abstract: A method of generating and processing an analog transport signal for a fronthaul of a radio access network, where the analog signal carries a plurality of channels. The analog signal is generated by defining frequency bands of a fixed width within the analog transport signal. Channels are arranged within each frequency band so that, if the analog transport signal is sampled at a frequency equal to twice the fixed width, each channel of a frequency band has the same intermediate frequency as a corresponding channel of at least one other frequency band. A method of demultiplexing the analog transport signal for execution by a receiver is also proposed.
