Device Verification Testing of High-Speed Analog-to-Digital Converters in Satellite Communication Systems

This paper presents a step-by-step sequence of operations for the dynamic performance testing of a high-speed analog-to-digital converter (ADC) using on-chip digital demultiplexing and clock distribution. Demultiplexed digital outputs are postprocessed and fed into a computer-aided ADC performance characterization tool. The described methodology reduces test costs and overcomes many test hardware ...
