Data conversion systems

This module covers data conversion systems (ADC - Analog to Digital Converter and DAC - Digital to Analog Converter) found in radio transmitters and receivers. Topics covered include terms and specifications, as well as the most commonly used architectures in this field.

ADC and DAC terms and specifications

Conversion functions (AD and DA)
Specific terms and notations
Error parameters
Basic architectures : ADC and DAC




Architectures for analog-to-digital conversion

ADC flash
ADC pipelined
ADC interleaved with SAR core
ADC Sigma Delta discrete-time and continuous-time




Architectures for digital-to-analog conversion

DACs with weighted and unitary current sources
DAC RF
DAC Sigma Delta




Bibliographical study: a bibliographical study will be carried out on one of the subjects relevant to one of the architectures. A report will be made in the form of a defense with the realization of one of the points proposed in the article.

Signal conditioning, analog-to-digital conversion, digital-to-analog conversion.
