The Challenges of Implementing Broadband ADCs
Speaker : The Challenges of Implementing Broadband ADCs
Abstract:
The exploding demand for high speed wired and wireless data networks has radically changed today's data RF transceivers and modems. Gigahertz bandwidths require broadband ADC architectures. Although initial ideas for this architecture was filed as a patent in 2003, it took another 9 years before it would become a reality. This seminar talks about some of the challenges of implementing broadband ADCs. The talk also describes several applications of this technology and how it has transformed the data communications industry.
