Editor’s note: Here is another ‘Golden nugget’ from my former TI colleague from my days at TI. I recommend that you observe Keller’s insights—he is an expert in the RF arena. High-speed data ...

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 ...

When you are trying to digitize a modulated RF signal, you have several choices: you can heterodyne the signal down to a lower intermediate frequency (IF) one or even twice, then digitize; you can ...

The tasks performed by filters in various RF architectures. Differentiating factors between those architectures. Current trends in filter performance considerations. At any given time, a multitude of ...

The efficacy and efficiency of modern electronic devices often depend on their signal noise and jitter. Jitter is the fluctuation or deviation of the signal waveform in a high-frequency digital signal ...
