The modern, advanced CMOS direct radio frequency (RF)-sampling data converter has been eagerly awaited by system design engineers for several major end-equipment manufacturers. This includes ...

Communications receiver architecture has evolved slowly over the years. The most common and successful configuration is the superheterodyne architecture, which translates the incoming signal to a ...

Aliasing is thankfully becoming a less frequent problem due to improved instrument designs. Users should still be aware of it ...

Growing demands in wideband radio and wireless communication deployments are imposing the necessity of a proper radio architecture capable of providing solid performance, more flexibility, in addition ...

Recently, I wrote automated test software for a multichannel data-acquisition system that I had designed, where sampled waveform accuracy and repeatability were very important. The input waveforms ...
