Abstract

As more and higher frequency DSIF receiver operations become digitized, the DSN requires higher speed, simpler and more cost-effective analog to digital converters. Besides meeting these requirements the converter described here is modular and lends itself to standardization. The conversion method used is the all parallel method that is optimum for high speed. One comparator amplifier for each level of the resolution is used. The digital code converter that converts the output of the comparator amplifiers to binary code is included. The module includes four levels. An eight-level converter is made up of two such modules connected externally, and a sixteen-level converter is made up of four modules externally connected.
