Abstract
While the performance of conventional analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) continues to improve, the rate of improvement is too slow to satisfy the requirements of advanced communication and radar systems in the foreseeable future. Hence it is widely recognized that new concepts leading to major advances in the A/D technology are needed.
