Direct Digital Frequency Synthesis (DDFS) techniques have fundamentally reshaped the approach to frequency generation in modern electronic systems. By employing digital methodologies such as phase ...
In Signal Chain Basics #60, we discussed approaches for tracking down spurious signals in high-speed analog-to-digital converter (ADC) systems. In this article, we examine similar techniques for ...
The target specification is a major determinant in choosing among instrument architectures Two basic architectures dominate the market for signal generators: the heterodyne architecture, where the ...
