چکیده
This paper presents the design of an image-reject continuous-time (CT) quadrature bandpass (QBP) ∆Σ modulator using a tailored signal-transfer-function (STF) design. The quadrature delta-sigma noise shaping with polyphase filter implementations and strategic IF placement effectively improve image rejection internally. The Fifth-order CT QBP ∆Σ modulator planned for WiMAX and Bluetooth standards, illustrates clearly the totally elimination of image generation and the correctly signal process. This led to remove the baseband filter and PGA at the price of a very challenging ADC with merged-in cited functionalities. So, less analog components, low power consumption and high performance for the low-IF receiver.

High-Speed Continuous-Time Subsampling Bandpass ∆Σ AD Modulator Architecture Employing Radio Frequency DAC
This paper proposes a continuous-time bandpass ∆ΣAD modulator architecture which performs high-accuracy AD conversion of high frequency analog signals and can be used for next-generation radio systems. We use an RF DAC inside the modulator to enable subsampling and also to make the SNDR of the continuous-time modulator insensitive to DAC sampling clock jitter. We have confirmed that this is the...

A quadrature bandpass modulator IC facilitates monolithic digital-radio-receiver design by allowing straightforward “complex A/D conversion” of an image-reject mixer’s I and Q outputs. Quadrature bandpass modulators provide superior performance over pairs of real bandpass modulators in the conversion of complex input signals, using complex filtering embedded in loops to efficiently realize asym...
متن کاملA Complex Bandpass ∆Σ Converter for Digital Radio
A new architecture is proposed for a singlechip digital radio receiver. This architecture has several advantages over the direct conversion architecture that has been gaining interest for use in single-chip designs. A non-zero quadrature IF reduces the image problem and eliminates concerns about self-EMI and 1/f noise. A “complex” bandpass filter embedded in a delta-sigma (∆Σ) loop allows the A...

In this paper, a flexible Continuous time (CT) feedforward (FF) quadrature delta sigma modulator (QDSM) with variable bandwidth (BW) is proposed. The modulator BW and center frequency (fc) are variable which can be adjusted with two separate parameters. The modulator signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) will be optimized by these parameters at every center frequency and bandwidth. The modulator BW is ch...
