3channel ADC 24 bits for AM carrier frequency 100kHz

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADS1672

Hello,

I need to sample an amplitude modulated signal with a carrier frequency of 100kHz and band with of 200Hz with a resolution of 24bits. I need 3 channes with this characteristics, and would like to have it in one chip.

I wonder if :
A : is there any of your microprocesors or DSPs with at least 3 ADC 24bit and sampling frequency > 200kHz ?
B : AN other option is a so call Bandpass sigma-delta converter (from analog documentation MT-023 page 9  [1]) is there any system that includes this and/or allows to implement this?
C: is there any other possible solution that I'm missing ??


Thanks.

     Why sample at a so high resolution and why unusual 3 channel?

     At that speed grade this device can suit your need http://www.ti.com/product/ads1672

     All details required to be of some help selecting processor/DSP and ADC too.

     

  • thanks for ur answer Roberto

    I need to sample a 100kHz carrier frequency that contain 200Hz changes in amplitude (as in amplitude modulations).

    So far I used a 16bit ADC and undersample the signal at 10kHz. However, i need to increase the resolution.

    I've seen all 24 bit ADC are based on sigma delta thechniques. I believe I cannot do undersampling with this method, this i why I believe i need to do Niqust sampling (2x100kHz ->  fs>200kHz).

    I already saw the ads1672

    However, it has only one channel. I could use 3 ( or more, 3 is just an example) individual ads1672, but that implies to develope a PBC my self.

    I would like to know is there is some test board that allows me to test a multichannel 24bit ADC for my purpose, before start building anything.

    Thanks

     Hi, in your post there are some part striding together...

     What the content of this modulation to be extracted from to require a so HIGH resolution of 24 bit and specialized PCB design to reduce noise and rf path to get clean sample??

     This is a non simple task! So why 3 channel and why 24 bit? It need phase extraction of carrier?

     Again if you sample at theoretical Shannon/Nyquist frequency your sampled wave can suffer of undersampling too, to use 24BIT different techniques need to be applied so a 4 bit sampling extract a similar content of your 24 bit...

     What is your goal? How much power is required by DSP?

     You can use 3 demo board from that ADC but before check if your goal is achievable too.
