Abstract
A reconfigurable wideband analog-to-digital converter (ADC) system comprising a first converter stage having a first signal path including a first sample and hold circuit for sampling an input signal at a first resolution, and a second signal path responsive to the input signal and arranged in parallel with the first signal path. The second signal path includes a second sample and hold circuit for sampling the input signal at a second resolution. A first ADC is also included for generating a digital representation of the input signal sampled by the first converter stage. A control processor is arranged between outputs of the first and second sample and hold circuits and the input of the ADC for selectively providing the signal sampled by one of the first or second sample and hold circuit to the input of the ADC.
