Abstract: One of the most useful techniques for evaluating the dynamic performance of fast and ultra-fast data converters is coherent sampling. This technique increases the spectral resolution of a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and eliminates the need for window sampling when certain conditions are met. However, if the conditions for coherent sampling cannot be met, window sampling can be used. The following application note compares coherent sampling with window sampling and provides an explanation of how to evaluate high-speed analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) using either method, while detailing the advantages and disadvantages of each.
