Rx Modules Transform RF To Digital Signals

摘要

Base stations for third-generation (3G) and fourth- generation (4G) wireless communications systems are being installed almost as fast as they can be designed and produced. To speed and simplify the process, Linear Technology {www. linear.com) has developed a pair of compact integrated receiver modules that not only include RF components, but 14-b analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) as well, so that RF and intermediate-frequency (IF) signals can be converted to digital signals within the same receiver module.
