ABSTRACT:
A Delta-Sigma Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) that can have a very high sampling rate (over 100 GHz) and which is preferably optically sampled to help achieve its very high sampling rate. The sampling rate can be many times higher than the regeneration speed of the electronic quantizers used in the ADC.
