Dear CASPERites,
I have used interleaved ADC1-3000-8 boards with great success, but
have a future application which does not require the input bandwidth of
this ADC, and which would also benefit from reduced cost. My future
bandwidth requirement is 2 GHz, and the KatADC appears to be a cheaper
alternative when running a pair of them in interleaved mode. The data
sheet for the ADC08D1520 implies that the input bandwidth in interleaved
mode may be quite poor, but does not provide hard data. Has anyone
measured the input bandwidth of the ADC08D1520 when running in
interleaved mode? The CASPER Hardware page also lists a Dual 2 Gsps
version of the KatADC which includes an RF front end, but National do
not seem to have any data online that give performance details of this
higher speed variant of the ADC, and Digicom does not appear to include
this version of the KatADC in their price list. Does anyone know the
price of this version of the KatADC board? The obvious attraction with
this version of the board is that a single board could sample both I and
Q inputs. Final question: does the CASPER toolkit support the KatADC
with no insidious bugs? Thanks for your help/advice.
