Quick Start
•
DESQ Mode – Double Edge Sample (interleaved) mode with Q input
•
DESIQ Mode – Double Edge Sample (interleaved) mode with I and Q as input – shorts both I and Q
inputs together and must be externally driven by the same signal
•
DESCLKIQ Mode – Sampling Clock samples the I- and Q-channels 180º out of phase with respect to
one another – I and Q are not shorted together and must be externally driven by the same signal
Double Edge Sampling (DES)
– Double edge sampling works much in the same way as single edge
sampling except that the signals is sampled both on the rising and falling edge of the sample clock. This
effectively doubles the sample rate. In this mode, both converters inside the ADC12D1X00RF work on a
common input signal. The various DES modes are selected from the Signal Source tab on the right side
and have requirements for how the inputs must be driven. See the datasheet for more details.
Note:
When using “I and Q” mode, it is also necessary to select the Channels tab and deselect the
“Automatically hide inactive channels” option box in order to allow both channels to appear on the plot.
Alternatively, one channel may be displayed per plot:
