Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A digital audio recording relies on an A/D converter that can sample at 50 kHz. If the acquisition and aperture times are not optimized to minimize total time, how might this affect the quality of the recording?

💡 Hint: Think about what it means to sample an audio waveform accurately.

Question 2

Consider an engineer tasked with designing an A/D converter for a high-speed application. What measures could be taken to minimize aperture and acquisition times to enhance performance?

💡 Hint: Focus on material and design techniques that enhance speed.
