[TenTec] SDR ADC (was: TT Omni vii FS/FT)

[g3ory at lineone.net]

Folks,

I am sure I saw/read somewhere that:

The spurious free dynamic range for the Analog Devices AD9467 ADC used 
by the Flex 6000 series is 75dB. So, how come they can claim a 3rd 
order IMD narrow spaced DR of 108dB?? Well, the digital magic is to 
filter and then decimate. That is to say, filter to eliminate aliasing 
and then throw away some of the samples.
Sounds crazy doesn't it BUT it delivers about an extra 40dB of dynamic 
range in the computer, taking the Flex 6000 series potentially up to 
around 115dB.

Not sure if you were kidding, but 16-bit ADC direct sampling SDR's  
work
just fine, a la Flex 6000 series and ANAN.  I did some serious 
contesting
and low band work on them and was very impressed.  The myth of 
insufficient
receive dynamic range with 16-bit ADC has been put to rest.
