At least some of those companies expected either to manufacture the digital converters or to bid for the older frequencies being returned by the stations.
A pulse of varying length, but stable height and a low jitter leading edge is sent to the time to digital converter.
Since around 1989, 1 bit delta-sigma modulators have been used in analog to digital converters.
Hawksford (1991:18) highlighted the advantages of digital converters that oversample.
Dunn (1998) examined the performance of digital converters to see if these differences in performance could be explained.
A digital to analogue (D-A) converter then turns the signal back into its original form.
Moreover, by late this summer, the industry expects to introduce digital converters that will increase capacity to several hundred channels.
The time to digital converter needs fast rising edges with normed height.
These distortion mechanisms can be alleviated to some degree by using digital converters with a multibit design.
So the analog to digital converter is used to convert the incoming data into a form that the processor can recognize.
