When you select RRS (random repetitive sampling) in a scope that provides an RRS mode, your instrument operates at the opposite end of the sampling-rate spectrum from scopes that, at their fastest ...

In my previous blog, Which Is Better: SAR or Delta-Sigma ADCs?, I gave an overview of the delta-sigma and SAR (successive approximation register) ADCs. I discussed the technique of oversampling as it ...

Vast amounts of marketing efforts are placed on touting the latest and greatest technological advancements in the realm of home audio. We are all aware of the over-inflated, and often baseless claims ...

Many electronic designs contain an ADC, or more than one, to read various signals and voltages. Often, these ADCs are included as part of the microcontroller (MCU) being used. This means, once you ...

There are several aspects of audio converter design that are generally not well understood but have a dramatic impact on performance, both measurable and audible. Audio converter IC manufacturers ...

Consider an audio signal is oversampled in a DSP system employing a member of Cirrus Logic’s CS48500 family of Audio Processors. After the decimation process, only a portion of the quantization noise ...

It’s not every day I see the words “insanely easy” when it comes to advanced signal and power measurements, so I had to take a second look at Teledyne LeCroy’s updated line of HDO4000A, HDO6000A, ...

A digital scope’s effective bandwidth of isn’t determined merely by analog componentsthe digitizer and memory also play a role When selecting an oscilloscope for a specific measurement, the first ...

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 ...
