Summary: 
This letter presents an efficient multichannel low-IF reception scheme that improves digital communication quality in the sense of BER performance. Created by simply adding cosine rolloff filters to the conventional multichannel receiver, the proposed receiver achieves much higher accuracy than the conventional one.
