S SMDM-70-TTL DITHERING MODULES SPECIFICATIONS Analog Signal Path: Pass Band Frequency: 60-80 MHz Insertion Loss: 1.0dB max Impedance: 50 ohm VSWR: 1.4:1 max LO Rejection: 55dB min @ f>450MHz SMDM-70-TTL OUTPUT CHARACTERISTICS Micronetics’ dithering module is designed as an easy way to eliminate spurs caused by quantization errors in high speed A/D converters. This module feature a patent pending technology to efficiently combine low pass filtered noise with the analog signal, resulting in low signal insertion loss and low power consumption. The module is designed for 70 MHz analog signals (other frequencies upon request) and eliminates the need to design special circuitry for the noise biasing, amplification and filtering as well as combining the signal to the out of band noise. DESCRIPTION The dithering module is a two port device with an analog signal input and a signal + noise output. The complete noise generating circuitry is contained within this module. The dithering module is specified by two paths, one being the analog signal path and the other being the noise output of the combined signal + noise path. The module also features built in LO rejection filtering.
