In the simplest analog receive signal path, the antenna feeds a low-noise amplifier (LNA), which in turn feeds an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter, which then feeds a digital processor. In all but ...

Communications receiver architecture has evolved slowly over the years. The most common and successful configuration is the superheterodyne architecture, which translates the incoming signal to a ...
The critical component in all digital communications receivers is the analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The ADC sampling rate, bandwidth, and noise tolerance establishes the specifications and ...
