Digital IF Receiver

Hi

I am designing a High Sampling Rate Digital receiver with following building blocks:
1-ADC is AD6645 105MSPS 14-bit
2-DDC is GC4016, 100 MSPS 4-ch
3-...

To design a good pcb layout for acheiving the claimed specifications of the ADC i decided to use PSD to simulate this Mixed-Mode board.
Unfortunately, i am not familiar with this software, and i think it take too much to be familiar with it.
My question is: Is it possible to use lower level softwares such as P*otel to do this job?

Professinal answers are welcomed.
 

Re: Digital IF Receiver

Hi,
Since the sampling rate is large, you will run into trouble if not handled.
1) Give the design to someone who can do it. You dont have to learn.
2) Follow basic rules and do it yourself. Do not simulate. 50% chance of working.
Hope this helps

Re: Digital IF Receiver

Hi

I want to implement it suceesfully.
Please show the way to sucess.

Regards
 

Re: Digital IF Receiver

Hi,
I guess you want to implement it yourself. So make a significantly large board with significant spacing between components and follow the layout recommendations. Also post this in google groups/ elektroda RF section. You will get better help.

Re: Digital IF Receiver

it's a challege to do that about high sample. yout must read the specification.
 

Re: Digital IF Receiver

Hi brmadhukar

Thank you for your advise. but i can not find the group.
Can you specify the link?

Regards
 

Re: Digital IF Receiver

enter in groups.google.com Digital Receiver/ Software Radio you will find host of links. I assume no problem with elektroda
 

Re: Digital IF Receiver

Hi

I have posted a question like above question in some of the electrical groups of yahoo. but did not get any answer.
Is ther anyone in elektroda that has this kind of experiences to help me speed up design process?

Regards
 

Re: Digital IF Receiver

in fact ,not worry about it,choose a good PCB material,then at the first time use a large board,then just try it
 

Re: Digital IF Receiver

I designed the same assy, with the same ADCs and I'm routing with Expedition PCB.
 

Re: Digital IF Receiver

Hi BGA

Are you using any software to simulate Signal Integrity, EMC and EMI issues?
As you know a Digital IF Receiver consists of high speed and sensitive anlaog parts, how i can simulate my ground plane noise to select a good frequency center for analog input to acheivemaximum SNR?

Regards
 

Re: Digital IF Receiver

I didn't make any simulation but in expedition you can simulate signals with signal vision.
 

Re: Digital IF Receiver

Hi

Did you sucessfully design the board for estimated specifications?

Regards
 

Digital IF Receiver

you can design a lab board to implement some function and ensure them work well, and then design whe whole system based on above the laboratory.
