Signal to symbol converters: Overview, opportunities and challenges

Signal to symbol converters (SSCs) are an emerging class of integrated microsystems aimed at an informed and intelligent conversion of signals to symbols. We present an architecture overview for signal to symbol converters, discuss related prior work and outline future opportunities and challenges.
