Hello,

I am wondering what's the state of the art. There are fast and
accurate commercial ADCs
like the Linear LTC2208 (16-bit, 130 Msps) that can digitize shortwave
(not FM) signals directly.
Are there commercial software radios using such devices?

Thanks.

SDR technology only has leverage at the IF and after.
The ADC is just one component of a system.
A receiver is not based on an ADC.
