If we want to take samples of some analog waveform, as in doing analog to digital conversions at some particular conversion rate, there is an absolute lower limit to the rate of doing conversions ...

Suppose you take a few measurements of a time-varying signal. Let’s say for concreteness that you have a microcontroller that reads some voltage 100 times per second. Collecting a bunch of data points ...

DSOs (digital oscilloscopes) offer a great many advantages over their analog equivalents but as they say, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch.” Digital scopes sample, digitize, and store waveforms ...

Coherent interleaved sampling is a new technique that can acquire data faster with more data points than sequential sampling. Engineers who need to characterize semiconductor devices, high-speed ...

Binary search, a decrease-and-conquer approach, plays an important role in testing today�s low-pass filters. When testing a low-pass filter, generally you have to use an arbitrary waveform generator ...
