It is rare that a sensor output matches an ADC input – therefore some degree of signal processing is required between… Read the rest
The previous section related the inherent “quantization error” to the signal-to-noise ratio – here… Read the rest
Effective Number of Bits: ENOB
The effective-number-of-bits (ENOB) is the parameter that ultimately defines the resolution… Read the rest
A continuous-time sine wave (BLU) is to be digitized. The waveform is sampled at even intervals (CYN) and the corresponding… Read the rest
Sample/Hold
The nature of a sample and hold (S/H) network requires the consideration of transients. The fundamental process… Read the rest
In the world of measuring physical macro events, a signal is a continuous variation over time. Variation of what… Read the rest
Looking at a page of algebraic derivations and equations is useful – almost as much so as understanding them.
But … Read the rest
I want to examine the effects on noise of these two integration networks. Effectively, they both perform the… Read the rest
The information from the majority of transducers is not suitable for direct quantization. The typical –… Read the rest
