A Calibration Method for Nonlinear Mismatches in M -Channel Time-Interleaved Analog-to-Digital Converters Based on Hadamard Sequences

چکیده
Abstract: The time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter (TIADC) is an architecture used to achieve a high sampling rate and high dynamic performance. However, estimation and compensation methods are required to maintain the dynamic performance of the constituent analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) due to channel mismatches. This paper proposes a blind adaptive method to calibrate the nonlinear mismatches in M-channel TIADCs (M-TIADCs). The nonlinearity-induced error signal is reconstructed by the proposed multiplier Hadamard transform (MHT) structure, and the nonlinear parameters are estimated by the filtered-X least-mean square (FxLMS) algorithm. The performance of cascade calibration is also analyzed. The numerical simulation results show that the proposed method consumes much less hardware resources while maintaining the calibration performance.

Modeling, Identification, and Compensation of Channel Mismatch Errors in Time-Interleaved ADCs
Modern signal processing applications emerging in telecommunication and instrumentation industries need high-speed analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), which can be achieved by employing a time-interleaved parallel array of ADCs (time-interleaved ADCs). The time interleaving of the channels allows to increase the sampling rate by the number of channels compared to a single channel. Unfortunatel...
متن کاملCompensating Frequency Response Mismatches in Time Interleaved Analog to Digital Converters
Time interleaving of multiple analog-todigital converters by multiplexing the outputs of (for example) a pair of converters at a doubled sampling rate is by now a mature concept—first introduced by Black and Hodges in 1980. Time interleaving of ADCs offers a conceptually simple method for multiplying the sample rate of existing high-performing ADCs. Time-interleaved analog-to-digital converters...

A technique for the digital background calibration of subsampling time-interleaved analog-to-digital converters is proposed. The technique corrects the errors due to gain, offset and timing mismatches among the time-interleaved channels by estimating and nulling the errors with respect to a reference channel through least mean squares loops. Wideband undersampled differentiator filters are expl...

Time interleaved sigma-delta (TIΣΔ) architecture is a potential candidate for high bandwidth analog to digital converters (ADC) which remains a bottleneck for software and cognitive radio receivers.

Offset mismatch, gain mismatch, and time-skew error between time-interleaved channels limit the performance of time-interleaved analog-to-digital converters (TIADC). This paper focused on the time-skew error. A new technique for calibrating time-skew error in M-channels TIADC is described, and simulation results are also presented.
