Abstract: Photonic analog-to-digital converters (PADCs) have been investigated for nearly five decades as a promising solution for next-generation high-performance signal acquisition, thanks to their ...

The trend in the design of new communication systems has been toward increasing the use of digital techniques. Digital communications offer several important advantages compared to analog ...

Digitizing an analog video signal involves two operations: sampling and quantization. Sampling means the periodical measurement of the amplitude of the video signal. The significant parameter is the ...

For the most part, the mechanisms of the natural world around us, including sound, operate in the analog domain. And so the transducers used to convert sound into electrical signals (microphones) and ...
