The modern, advanced CMOS direct radio frequency (RF)-sampling data converter has been eagerly awaited by system design engineers for several major end-equipment manufacturers. This includes ...

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 ...

The critical component in all digital communications receivers is the analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The ADC sampling rate, bandwidth, and noise tolerance establishes the specifications and ...

Many systems divide a crystal frequency by an integer number to generate clock signals. Unfortunately, the integer divisor limits the available set of output frequencies. Applications such as ...
