Applications such as test equipment and digital radio for electronic intelligence are pushing the limits for both dynamic range and data rates. This drive is increasing the need for high-rate, ...

All analogue-to-digital converters (ADCs) have a certain amount of input-referred noise. Input-referred noise is not to be confused with quantisation noise, which is only of interest when an ADC is ...

Since the late 1970s, designers have successfully improved the effective resolution and spurious performance of A/D converters by adding dither—uncorrelated noise—to a converter's input and then using ...
