Abstract
In this chapter we will look at the properties of analog-to-digital converters (ADC) and the limitations they introduce into sampled data. We will discuss the relationship between the resolution and the dynamic range of ADCs and end this chapter by simulating techniques for improving the dynamic range of ADCs by gain ranging and oversampling.
