Introduction
Modern communication systems require an ADC to receive an analog signal and then convert it into a digital signal that can be processed with an FPGA. The job of a mixed signal engineer is to optimize the signal at the input of the ADC to maximize overall system performance. This usually requires a signal chain comprised of multiple gain and filtering sections. An ADC is only as good as the signal it is measuring.
