They used to build these with fancy analog circuits - today you can get cheap uP with 14bit A/D and the rest would 'just' be a 'little' software - Easier than SDR(Software Defined Radio) - but I wonder if they just use the older chips?

Looks like these guys make some chips - with datasheets in English!

Hmm, rather nice chip! but, you have to program a serial EPROM, and it looks like you have to do a calibration procedure on every chip and then program a value into the EPROM to get proper operation. That sounds like a but of complication for production. Maybe I misunderstood.
