Most Advanced Microwave Capable ADC Sampling Signal Waveforms in Multiple Frequency Bands up to KA

You will see the first live demonstration of the most advanced Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) demonstrator chip from Teledyne e2v: PS640. This proof-of-concept is capable of microwave direct sampling, preparing the future generation of very high frequency direct sampling solutions. In order to ease the integration into the RF front-ends and frequency synthesis units, the ADC is single-ended on both its microwave and clock inputs. The ADC will be described and presented in its evaluation environment. Performance will be showcased sampling directly the signals coming from a signal generator.
