Zan, Sorry for the lateness in the response, I didn't really go into detail because I'm quite busy. For my masters, I worked on turbo codes and turbo equalization. I am more experience with signal processing, estimation, coding, Rayleigh fading. This Yahoo egroup is mostly on narrowband audio. There are a lot of ways to figure out a topic: find some aspect that is inefficient and propose techniques (hopefully novel) to solve the problem. Often, students would just do whatever the supervisor says to do. If you haven't already done it, you could always print out the four QEX Youngblood articles available from www.flex-radio.com and show them to your supervisor. I don't know what you have available in your group. Maybe you can work custom IC for high speed sample and hold circuits, if you want to go along with the spirit of what is discussed here, but much larger bandwidth. You could compare it with other downconversion methods and chipsets. I have no knowledge in VLSI fabrication, so I can't really help you on that. I always had somebody else do the RF in designs I was involved with, focusing more on the DSP algorithms and code implementation. I'm playing with this quadrature sampling detector in my spare time, more just starting to open my eyes on what I can do from the IF stage. Hope this helps, Frank
