Combined RF phase extraction and digitization
Ian Galton, G. A. Zimmerman · 1993 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems · 2002
Phase-tracking problems are ubiquitous in communication systems, and the trend toward digital signal processing is rapidly necessitating the juxtaposition of RF phase-tracking and analog-to-digital conversion. A new technique for simultaneously performing these functions is presented. The approach offers the potential of reduced analog circuit complexity and cost over the traditional method of performing the functions separately.>
