in software - that's easy... just multiply these samples by those samples.
Brick wall filters, also easy. Chopping the simulated RF? Trivial.

A PJRC Teensy 4.x running at 600MHz would have plenty of horsepower
for this task.

There are several
potential problems. First, the filter only removes out-of-band
distortion products that were generated prior to the filter. It
doesn¡¯t do anything with the in band products, nor does it do
anything with the products generated after the filter. If I remember
correctly, the products generated by the 2nd (down conversion) mixer
were the biggest problem. --
