Clay : The difference is more than made up in the the fact that the new AD operates at 245 MHz and the old AD is 200 kHz and you get huge processing gain in the downsample and filter process greatly increases the dynamic range. Bob On May 18, 2012 4:46 PM, Clay W7CE w...@curtiss.net wrote:

Clay, Just in rough numbers, you get a 1/2-bit for every divide-by-two decimation you do. If you are looking at dynamic range in a 500Hz bandwidth (this is what we typically do). The math I generally use to get there is log(f1/f2)/log(2)/2. I just think this way as a programmer (do everything
