Abstract
An ultra-wideband distributed ADC can be cascaded to build high performance radio frequency (RF) analog electronics integrated with advanced digital complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) electronics on the same wafer. Advantages can include wide spectral coverage, high resolution, large dynamic range, and high information processing bandwidth. Part of an overall system includes a precise, programmable, real-time delay circuit that can achieve picosecond accuracy.
