Yes, but this only works if, as the page points out, the signal is bandpass filtered, which GP did not mention. It's not true in the general sense, nor is it practical for many (most?) RF systems, especially those with multiple channels.

your bandwidth is 100 MHz centered at 1 GHz

Implies a bandlimited signal centered around 1ghz.

I can see why you might think that but consider that in RF systems, while the wanted signal is bandlimited, you also have a lot of unwanted "blockers" all over the spectrum that need to be dealt with before sampling.
