    App Note: Testing True Performance of ADCs

    Feb. 7, 2025
    Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) have taken giant steps in speed and accuracy over the past years. Learn about how the R&S®SMA100B offers outputs for the analog input signal of the ADC as well as the clock input signal in one single instrument.

    Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) have taken giant steps in speed and accuracy over the past years: Such devices allow high-speed video processing and even software defined radio (SDR) applications, where digitization is being performed at ever-higher intermediate frequencies (IF). This has clearly raised the bar for ADC test equipment, especially regarding the noise performance of the analog input signal and sample clock sources used in the test setup.
