How to Select the Right Data Converters: Versatile and power-efficient data conversion is a part of defense systems, from audio through microwave frequencies, and choosing the right data converters means weighing several key performance parameters.

The article discusses how to select the right data converter that is power-efficient data conversion, part of defense systems. Topics discussed defense-based systems are designed for portability, such as software- defined radios (SDRs); analog to digital converter (ADC)s and DACs have made impressive advances in regarding with processing power; and ADCs and DACs are used in systems with signal amplifiers.
