The review (pt.1-pt.4) is sum up the development of ultrafast analog to digital conversation for the last decade (1998-2008). Examine questions of applications ultrafast ADCs by the example of location systems with active phased antenna arrays which are able to utilize subnano - and picosecond signals. Examine models of ultrafast ADCs with the best data for every years of decade. ADCs classification and basic data are review, conversion methods and their comparison characteristics are consider. Primary world ultrafast ADCs manufacturers are consider. Ultrafast ADCs data and multuchannels ADCs, board digitizers and ADC-DAC boards are examine. ADCs data are review as applied to industrial and research converters. Facilities modern ultrafast conversation and future trends on the next decade are point out.
