ADC to convert 1GHz+ frequency signal

AI Thread Summary
There is a discussion about finding an ADC IC that can convert analog signals at frequencies of 1GHz or higher into digital signals with at least 10-bit resolution. Participants are inquiring about the availability of such high-frequency ADCs and whether they exist in the market. One user suggests using a logic analyzer for testing purposes. The conversation references a National Semiconductor news item related to high-speed ADC technology. The need for high-performance ADCs in applications requiring fast signal processing is emphasized.

Hey all..

Anybody worked on an ADC ic capable of converting an analogue signal with 1GHz frequency or more to Digital signal of say 10 bits or more ??

Thanks for you time

what sort of A/D chip is that or if it even exist? maybe people have use the logic analyzer to see

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
