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 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
