چکیده
The paper presents the results of the experimental validation of a method for digital compensation of ADC non-linearity errors. First, the theory underlying the method is briefly described. Then, the compensation method has been validated both on sinusoidal signals and on 3 generation mobile telecommunication signals, compliant to 3GPP specifications.

Output-Conductance Transition-Free Method for Improving Radio-Frequency Linearity of SOI MOSFET Circuits
In this article, a novel concept is introduced to improve the radio frequency (RF) linearity of partially-depleted (PD) silicon-on-insulator (SOI) MOSFET circuits. The transition due to the non-zero body resistance (RBody) in output conductance of PD SOI devices leads to linearity degradation. A relation for RBody is defined to eliminate the transition and a method to obtain transition-free c...

متن کاملOn A/D Converters with Low-Precision Analog Circuits and Digital Post-Correction
Progress in the fabrication of integrated circuits (ICs) enables smaller and smaller minimum feature sizes, so that more and more transistors can be realized per chip area. Digital circuits greatly benefit from the miniaturization. By contrast, analog circuits suffer from reduced precision when component sizes are decreased, because for decreased component sizes, the respective component values...
متن کاملADC characterization for high-speed applications
There is a rapid development of the performance of state-of-the-art analog to digital converters (ADC). Resolution and sampling rate are increasing continuously. Sampling rates in the high intermediate frequency (IF) range with sufficient dynamic range for communication applications were introduced about the turn of the millennium. Post-correction methods enable fast ADCs with modest linearity,...
متن کاملDesign for Testability That Reduces Linearity Testing Time of SAR ADCs
This brief paper describes design-for-testability (DFT) circuitry that reduces testing time and thus cost of testing DC linearity of SAR ADCs. We present here the basic concepts, an actual SAR ADC chip design employing the proposed DFT, as well as measurements that verify its effectiveness. Since the DFT circuit overhead is small, it is practicable. key words: SAR ADC, testing, DC linearity, de...
