Riassunto
This thesis describes the design of a Threshold-Configuring successive approximation (SAR) analog to digital (ADC) converter for Ultra Wideband (UWB) applications. The first part of this thesis focuses on the evaluation of the impact of channel mismatches on the performance of time interleaving ADCs. The results of this study are used to derive the circuit level design requirements of a time interleaving converter that complies with UWB standards.
In the second part, these specifications have been used to design of a SAR ADC that can be used as channel converter in a time interleaving system. In this design, a nowel SAR architecture has been employed.
