Overview:
One of the major challenges in communications system design is successfully driving the desired signal into the ADC. Adequate fidelity for signal detection requires proper component selection and implementation of the interface. In this online seminar, our amplifier expert will review RF versus ADC terminology, provide a basic overview of system budgeting, contrast different ADC driver implementations, and touch on filter design techniques required to meet today's stringent system requirements.
