A block diagram of a typical sampled data DSP system is shown in Figure 2-1. Prior to the actual analog-to-digital conversion, the analog signal usually passes through some sort of signal conditioning ...

Sub-Nyquist sampling and Finite Rate of Innovation (FRI) signal processing represent a paradigm shift in the acquisition and reconstruction of signals. Traditional sampling theories require adherence ...

An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) sampling rate is determined by a clock signal that controls how often a voltage snapshot is taken for each conversion. However, clock signal timing isn’t perfect, ...

Although Arbs eventually may become the ultimate RF generators, today many RF applications can be addressed using the latest instruments. Arbitrary waveform generators (Arbs) are among the most ...

Sigma-delta converters are in wide use among applications that demand high precision and accuracy. A variant of the sigma-delta architecture, called the continuous-time sigma delta (CT-S?), has found ...

We casually speak of digital audio, often referring to it as AES audio, perhaps AES3 (for the number of the AES standard), or by an older term AES/EBU. But what exactly is this AES3 signal? Here’s the ...
