  • Electronically reconfigurable bandwidth and channel number analog-to-digital converter circuit for radar systems
    Patent number: 9250313
    Abstract: An analog-to-digital converter circuit for a radar apparatus, the analog-to-digital converter circuit including analog-to-digital converters that are electronically reconfigurable to operate in a multi-channel mode with a first bandwidth by clocking the ADCs in phase with one another, or a single-channel mode with a second bandwidth higher than the first bandwidth by clocking the ADCs out of phase with one another and optimizing the intermediate frequency for the respective mode.
    Type: Grant
