It’s a counterintuitive result that you might need to add noise to an input signal to get the full benefits from oversampling in analog to digital conversion. [Paul Allen] steps us through a simple ...

So, I was consulting into one of our teams that was putting together a cool data acquisition subsystem. They wanted to use (OK, I admit it, I also wanted them to use) my DIY AC line filter (as written ...

The sources of noise in a signal chain can be either internal or external. Managing noise in the signal chain requires meticulous examination of each circuit in the chain to minimize noise where ...

Surface plasmon polaritons can confine electromagnetic fields in subwavelength spaces and are of interest for photonics, optical data storage devices and biosensing applications. In analogy to photons ...

Reducing the precision of model weights can make deep neural networks run faster in less GPU memory, while preserving model accuracy. If ever there were a salient example of a counter-intuitive ...

Over the past decades, the high-speed analog-to-digital converter (ADC) performance metric that mattered to most has changed, albeit slowly. Primarily as a result of signal acquisition systems’ ever ...

A signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) lets us express the relationship between signal and noise powers, as well as between the root-mean-square (rms) values of signal and noise voltages: SNR (dB) = ...
