TELEDYNE e2v’s EV10AS940 “SILVER BULLET” RF/Microwave ADC

Every RF/Microwave system level design engineer searches for the “silver bullet” component solution that will be the key enabler for ALL performance specification requirements. A “silver bullet” can be defined as the single perfect solution to many complicated problems. For today’s RF/Microwave receiver system design engineers, Teledyne e2v’s EV10AS940 10 Bit, 12.8 GSPS ADC (with internal DDC) is the ultimate “silver bullet.” An ADC singularly converts the electromagnetic world for digital signal processing [1]. The EV10AS940 10 Bit ADC directly converts RF/Microwave input frequencies (requiring no analog mixing) from L to Ka-Band (1Ghz-40Ghz), and then digitally down converts (DDC) and conditions the signal to include: quadrature detection, frequency hopping and beam forming (so an external DSP engine can then perform additional output computations).
