ABSTRACT:
According to one embodiment of the invention, a method of sampling a signal is provided. The method includes receiving over a signal path an analog signal generated using a first clock signal by a first device. The method also includes sampling the analog signal using a second clock signal to generate a numeric representation of at least a portion of the analog signal. The frequencies of the first and the second clock signals differ from one another by a known amount. The method also includes communicating over the signal path the numeric representation for receipt by a second device. The signal path experiences loading and at least a majority of the loading of the signal path occurs between the sampler and the second device.
