In the simplest analog receive signal path, the antenna feeds a low-noise amplifier (LNA), which in turn feeds an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter, which then feeds a digital processor. In all but ...

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 the most part, the mechanisms of the natural world around us, including sound, operate in the analog domain. And so the transducers used to convert sound into electrical signals (microphones) and ...

Broadband communications equipment is increasingly pushing the envelope of mixed-signal technology in terms of speed, distortion, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and cost. Many broadband wireless systems ...
