SNR performance of an adaptive sigma delta modulator
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a previous study [1], we proposed an adaptive sigma delta modulator with improved dynamic range. The modulator adapts the step size of the quantizer from estimates of the quantizer input instead of the modulator input. In this study, we conduct an error variance analysis of the new modulator and derive expression for the SNR. The derived expression shows that the SNR is independent of the input signal strength, which supports the simulation results.

Quadrature delta sigma modular design with adjustable bandwidth and center frequency
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...

متن کاملAdaptive Sigma–Delta Modulation With One-Bit Quantization
A method for improving the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of sigma–delta modulators with one-bit quantization is presented. The two-level feedback signal of a standard sigma–delta modulator is replaced by a multilevel signal, which is a superposition of two parts. One part ( ) represents a rough estimate of the instantaneous amplitude of the input signal (prediction signal), and the other ( ) is t...

This paper presents a comparative analysis between two current control strategies, constant source power and generalized Fryze current, used in Active Power Filter (APF) applications having three different modulation methods. The Hysteresis Band (HB) and first-order Delta-Sigma Modulation (DSM) as well as the second-order DSM is applied. The power section of the active power filter is viewed as...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Structure for Sigma Delta Modulation with Improved Dynamic Range
This work proposes a novel structure for adaptive sigma delta modulation that leads to considerable improvement in the dynamic range of the modulator. The quantizer step-size is adapted based on estimates of the input signal to the quantizer block rather than on estimates of the input signal to the modulator itself, as is common in current schemes. The proposed structure can be implemented rath...
