A New Statistical Approach to Word Error Rate Measurement in Analog-to-Digital Converters

چکیده
The paper is focused on the Word Error Rate (WER) estimation in Analog to Digital Converters (ADCs) as specified in Annex A of the IEEE Std. 1241. The aim is to give a contribution for the next version of such standard. A new statistical approach for WER estimation, that can better integrate what it is stated in the standard, is proposed. In particular, Student’s t and chi-square distributions have been introduced for a more accurate WER measurement in the case of n successive observations. The proposed method has been experimentally verified by means of WER measurement, where the testing results were compared by standard method.

Analysis of Integral Nonlinearity in Radix-4 Pipelined Analog-to-Digital Converters
In this paper an analytic approach to estimate the nonlinearity of radix-4 pipelined analog-to-digital converters due to the circuit non-idealities is presented. Output voltage of each stage is modeled as sum of the ideal output voltage and non-ideal output voltage (error voltage), in which non-ideal output voltage is created by capacitor mismatch, comparator offset, input offset, and finite ga...

This paper presents an adaptive digital resolution improvement method for extrapolating and recursive analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The presented adaptively enhanced ADC (AE-ADC) digitally estimates the digital equivalent of the input signal by utilizing an adaptive digital filter (ADF). The least mean squares (LMS) algorithm also determines the coefficients of the ADF block. In this sch...
متن کاملStatistical Analysis of the Word Error Rate Measurement in Analog-to-digital Converters
− The word error rate (WER) in an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) is the probability to receive a wrong code for an input, after correction is made for gain, offset, and nonlinearity errors, and a specified allowance is made for noise. Typical causes of word errors are metastability and timing jitter of comparators within the ADC [1]. The proposed paper is an evolution of previous work [6] an...
