Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are the backbone of virtually all modern test and measurement equipment. These devices are responsible for converting the real-world RF signals to digital signals that can then be further processed/stored and displayed to the user. There have been significant advances in ADC technology in recent years, with much faster ADCs with higher ..

There are a wide variety of Signal/Spectrum Analyzers on the market that use a wide range of methods and technologies. Most modern spectrum analyzers use Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) to convert the time-domain signals input at the port of the spectrum analyzer to frequency domain data using Fast Fourier Transforms (FFTs). Some spectrum analyzers, typically those ..
