Today's analog system designers face many design challenges. Not only do designers need to select the proper integrated-circuit components, but they also must accurately predict the interactions of ...

Direct RF sampling meets engineers' requirements for higher integration, better noise performance, wider bandwidth and smaller footprints in radar, software-defined radio, aerospace and defense, test ...

The first commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) analog front-ends (AFEs) designed for low bandwidth one-channel sensors showed what analog-to-digital integration can do. Then, COTS AFEs for applications ...

How to use DC-coupling for RF sampling ADCs. How to improve system linearity. Higher data rates in wireless communication systems and the use of narrower pulses in radars to resolve close targets ...

Past columns have discussed sampling analog signals and analog-to-digital converter (ADC) technologies. In my experience, though, engineers who simply want to use ADCs rather than design with them, ...

Low-power high-speed CMOS comparators and analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) play a pivotal role in modern electronics, from data-intensive computing systems to precision biomedical instrumentation.

Photonic analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) represents a paradigm shift in signal processing by leveraging the inherent advantages of photonic devices to digitise analog signals. The approach aims to ...
