How to Build Wide-Dynamic-Range Systems (Part 1) (Download)

Nov. 28, 2023

Read this article online.

The dynamic range of receiver devices is an important parameter that determines their ability to receive and process signals of varying power levels. Wide dynamic range is crucial in many fields, such as wireless communication systems, medical imaging devices, radar systems, and various probing systems. In practice, detecting weak signals amidst strong interference or noise is often necessary, and that requires a wide dynamic range.

In Part 1, we’ll explore methods for building systems with a large dynamic range and perform a comparative analysis of linear and multichannel receivers.
