Optimization of adaptive up-and-down method for equivalent time signal conversion

This study relates to comparator type equivalent time signal conversion. The influence of parameters of combined adaptive up-and-down method on accuracy of signal conversion is studied. Optimal values of parameters are obtained, using which the minimal amount of the samples is ensured. As an input signal, a model of UWB radar signal (sine monocycle) is used. Method is intended for application in UWB radar receivers. The design guidelines for application of the method in UWB radar receivers are outlined.
