An EDN Design Idea (DI) presented a discussion of how to increase the resolution of an ADC by adding a non-deterministic, zero-mean, Gaussian noise dither waveform to a signal to be converted; then, ...

If we want to take samples of some analog waveform, as in doing analog to digital conversions at some particular conversion rate, there is an absolute lower limit to the rate of doing conversions ...

Functionality of ADC/DACs, their performance characteristics, and how they have been improved. Advantages, disadvantages, and applications of various ADC/DAC architectures. How ADC/DACs are used in ...

Recently, I wrote automated test software for a multichannel data-acquisition system that I had designed, where sampled waveform accuracy and repeatability were very important. The input waveforms ...

Give a child on a swing a push, and it takes time for the "system" to return to equilibrium. The same effect occurs when a sensor signal changes quickly and passes through an anti-alias filter or a ...

Suppose you take a few measurements of a time-varying signal. Let’s say for concreteness that you have a microcontroller that reads some voltage 100 times per second. Collecting a bunch of data points ...

WILMINGTON, Mass. & SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Analog Devices, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADI) today announced Apollo MxFE, its most advanced software-defined, direct RF-sampling, wideband mixed signal front end ...

It is important to consider the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for analog test and measurement, as well as other electrical engineering activities, as it helps ensure that critical electrical ...
