Hello everyone, We are considering using one of the 5 GS/s ADCs in our C-band system. We would like to directly sample the C-band signal (which we would set at 5-7.5 GHz using an anti-aliasing filter, so we'd operate in the third Nyquist zone), however many of the documents available on the wiki (including the advice of people currently using them) indicate this may be beyond the sampler's ability (6dB attenuation at 2.5 GHz). We wondered if anyone had tried to drive these samplers at such high frequencies, and ideally could send us some plots so we know what we're dealing with? Otherwise we'll have to mix in analogue and we really want to avoid that if we can...
Many thanks Michael
