[Discuss-gnuradio] SDR vs Analog common term comparison

[Young, Bruce Spawar]

There are terms like ENOB that are used by my analog buds.  They translate that into dynamic range and try to tell me their system is superior to the USRP I am working on.  Analog Devices has Advanced Filter Bank (V-Corp), High-Performance Linearity Error Compensation (V-Corp) that claim to increase Dynamic Range.   There are probably other processing enhancements that improve SDR performance.  The handling of noise in the overall signal detection is different in Digital.   Once I get into operation I can compare receivers but that is a ways off.   Does anyone have a information sources that clear the subject?  Comparing Analog to SDR performance.
