When it comes to getting signals from an analog world into our computers, most of us don’t give much thought to how the hardware that does the job works. But as it turns out, there are a number of ...

Did You Know? The “real” world we are living in is Analog! Whether it is sound, light, temperature or humidity, all are continuously varying things. However, when we want to communicate with the ...

In previous installments of the AudioFile, we've talked about basic PCM audio, which encodes audio into a series of numbers that a computer can play or manipulate. We've also discussed the process of ...

A cross-institutional team led by researchers from the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE), under the ...

All naturally occurring phenomena and signals are analog in nature. When we want to process these natural signals, it is understood that whatever data comes from the external world first needs to be ...

A cross-institutional research team led by researchers from the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE), under the Faculty of Engineering at The University of Hong Kong (HKU), have ...

The design and optimisation of analog-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-analog converters (DACs) play a pivotal role in modern electronic systems, bridging the gap between the analog real world ...

In an effort to realize a true software-defined radio, Hypres Inc. of Elmsford, N.Y., is developing an ultra-high-performance analog-to-digital converter (ADC) using ultra-high-speed and ...

Leuven, Belgium and Eindhoven, the Netherlands: At the International Solid State Circuit Conference, Imec and the Holst Centre demonstrated an ultra-low power 8 bit analog to digital convertor (ADC) ...

A great many industrial sensors — flow, level, temperature, pressure, pH, and the list goes on — produce a 4-20 mA output, but today's factories increasingly need digital inputs via standard field ...
