All-digital transceiver bridges the gap for software-defined radio
Dec 1, 2006
By Wes Littlefield The fundamental limit for analog-to-digital conversion defined by the Nyquist
criterion reveals that conventional electronics are simply too slow for the
implementation of true software-defined radio at higher frequencies. However,
this barrier can be overcome with digital and analog circuits based on
superconducting electronics....
