Adaptive CADC Optimisation, Modelling and Testing

摘要

Analytical approach to optimization, analysis, modeling and testing of the adaptive cyclic (sub-ranging) analog-to-digital converters (CADC) is considered. The particularity of the approach is digital computing the estimates (codes) of the input signal samples using optimal signal - processing algorithm. Upper boundaries for resolution, speed of conversion, and information characteristics are determined. Methodic of advanced CADC model-based simulation investigations is presented. The efficiency of simulation experiments as reliable, convenient and low-cost tool significantly simplifying and accelerating the search for optimal variants, design and analysis of CADC is shown.
