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 ...

We’re so accustomed to ICs in the $1 price range that it’s easy to presume something is wrong when you see one priced above $1000. Still, some ICs have the features, functions, and performance ...

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 ...

All analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) have a certain amount ofinput-referred noise. In most cases,less input noise is better. There are some cases, however, where inputnoise can actually be helpful ...
