The input to your system has a receiver with a high order low pass filter and a 3 dB point of 100 MHz. You then sample the signal with an Analog to Digital Converter. What is the maximum time interval ...

Recent advances in high-speed data converters now digitize or generate signals directly at radio frequencies up to several gigahertz, replacing traditional radio-frequency (RF) components like mixers, ...

For certain applications, the use of a low-cost microcontroller (MCU) is a must, yet many of those applications need to interface with high data rate signals. The problem is that as the data rate of ...

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 ...

Suppose you take a few measurements of a time-varying signal. Let’s say for concreteness that you have a microcontroller that reads some voltage 100 times per second. Collecting a bunch of data points ...

A cellular or desktop phone that converts human speech to a digital signal and vice versa. Cellphones use the GSM or CDMA technology, whereas the desktop phones that connect to an in-house PBX or key ...

Designers of digital systems are familiar with implementing the 'leftovers' of their digital design by using FPGAs and CPLDs to glue together various processors, memories, and standard function ...
