Digital signal processing is often a mystery to many people, but the underlying principles are fairly straightforward and within the grasp of anyone with a technical background. In this feature, we’ll ...

As we discussed at the beginning of this series, sampling has nothing to do with digitization, or quantization. A sampled signal can remain in the analog domain, though digitized signals are sampled ...

Tiziano Colombo Mr. Colombo: The analog-to-digital conversion is characterized by two inseparable processes: sampling and quantization. The sampling process consists of a pulse amplitude modulation ...

Basic review of how the different kinds of analog-to-ditital converters wor, with a sidebar relating them to appropriate applications. ADCs quantize time-varying analog voltages into a sequence of ...

Synthetic biology advances the rational engineering of mammalian cells to achieve cell-based therapy goals. Synthetic gene networks have nearly reached the complexity of digital electronic circuits ...
