[HomeBrew] Direct RF-Sampling ADCs - Breakthrough

[Ian Wilson]

Thanks for posting this, David.

It's not clear to me that 12 bits is sufficient for 'real' SDR (to me, this
implies digitizing as close
to the antenna as you can get, probably with a preselector to remove signals
that are way out of
band).

For HF usage we need to be able to handle sub-microvolt wanted signals in
the presence of
out-of-band signals six orders of magnitude higher than this, and in-band
signals that aren't much
smaller in contest conditions. 12 bits doesn't have anywhere near enough
dynamic range.

I may be confused and/or missing the point, hi.
