Hello, As a result of a measurement I obtain a bandlimited signal centered at 144 kHz (12kHz Bandwidth). I was planning to use undersampling (Fs=192kHz) to fold this signal to 48kHz in the digital domain. I am having a difficulty to find an ADC for this purpose. The only ADCs I could find (I need at least 18 bit resolution) that support Fs=192kHz had too small analog bandwidth, f.ex. cirrus CS5361. Is there an ADC that could suit my application? Thanks!

Take care that the quality of the sample-and-hold is more important with this input... the time of sampling is much more critical at high frequencies. Thomas

I know some high speed ADC's are designed for this, but I'm not too sure about these slower (192 kHz) ones. If he went to an even slower ADC, his problems would only get worse, presumably. Mac

The data sheet clearly states that the 0.1dB passband at "quad speed" sampling is 0.24 x Fs which puts you at 46KHz, your 48KHz is 0.25 x Fs - negligible additional attenuation 0.14dB? And this is the digital filter- not the analog passband.

Good luck, [-Rick-]

This means Fc+/-6KHz and -3dB, and at quad speed this is 0.03 x Fs. Looking at the passband ripple graph which a nominal 0.03dB peak variation- your low sample rates mean the signal is spread over a correspondingly larger percentage of the passband- you see the *full* ripple error variation which is of the same order of magnitude as using the 192KHz Fs. Luck is for dummies and programmers, analysis is for engineers.
