Abstract

A digital dc offset restoration system is described for use with wide bandwidth analog-to-digital converters (ADC). The main feature is that the system compensates for offsets in the conversion device itself, as well as for analog input offsets. A 1-bit ADC realization is described which operates at 40 Mbps using transistortransistor logic in the dc restore circuitry. Conversion rates of over 100 Mbps can be achieved using emitter-coupled logic exclusively. This high-speed ADC is used in spectral analysis of planetary radar returns.
