Digital Domain Analysis

Digital Domain Analysis: Accurately model ADC conversion and analyze signals in the digital frequency domain.

Transitioning from the analog RF chain to digital processing requires precise modeling of your data converters. RSD App’s Digital Domain Analysis operates as a highly specialized digital spectrum analyzer. It seamlessly converts your simulated analog signals into the digital domain by applying real-world ADC parameters. This allows you to visualize the exact digital spectrum, noise, and spurs that your processing hardware will see after conversion.

Bridge the gap between your analog cascade and the digital back-end.

Modern RF systems rarely end at the analog boundary. RSD App’s Digital Domain Analysis tools allow you to seamlessly transition your analog signal chain into the digital realm. Accurately model Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) performance, track quantization effects, and view your post-conversion spectrum with absolute clarity to ensure your digital processor receives exactly what it expects.

Key Capabilities:

Precise ADC Modeling: Define critical Analog-to-Digital Converter specifications, including Sampling Rate and Full Scale Power, to perfectly replicate your chosen hardware.

Dynamic Range & Noise Simulation: Incorporate the exact Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) of your ADC to see how quantization noise and conversion spurs impact your signal.

Custom FFT Resolution: Define the exact FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) size you need to achieve the necessary spectral resolution for your digital analysis.

Nyquist Zone Selection: Easily analyze oversampling and undersampling architectures by selecting specific Nyquist Zones (Zone 1, Zone 2, etc.) to accurately simulate frequency folding and aliasing effects.

Digital Spectrum Visualization: View the resulting digital frequency domain just as you would with a physical spectrum analyzer, ensuring your signal integrity is maintained post-conversion.
