چکیده
A new design methodology for reconfigurable quadrature band-pass ΣΔ modulator is proposed. The methodology uses architectures, which locks various range of IF frequencies to the sampling frequency for lower order quadrature modulators. A gereralized integrator based architecture is developed from the delay architectures. The method is presented with derivation of the base circuitry and with this base circuitry stringent performance can be satisfied by extending the work to cascading lower order quadrature modulators with possible image reduction techniques.

CMOS Bit-Stream Band-Pass Beamforming
We introduce a unique bandpass ΣΔ based common module with reconfigurable, bit-stream based digital beam-forming (DBF). An array of bandpass ΣΔ modulators accurately and efficiently digitizes the IF signals. Beam-forming is implemented directly through bitsteam processing of the fast, low-resolution bit-stream outputs of the quantizers of each bandpass ΣΔ modulator. Fabricated in 65nm CMOS, the...

In this article, a novel analytical closed-form model is derived for second-order quadrature ΣΔ modulators (QΣΔM) taking implementation inaccuracies of QΣΔM coefficients into account. The model enables analytical examination of the modulator I/Q imbalance effects on input-output relation as well as signal and noise transfer functions (STF and NTF) independently. Thus, the image rejection of the...

This article focuses on the in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) imbalance problem in quadrature ΣΔ modulators (QΣΔM). In the literature, such quadrature modulators have been seen as a promising possibility for software defined radio (SDR) receivers, but matching the quadrature circuits is an inevitable problem for this kind of systems. In this article, an analytic closed-form model will be derived for a ...

متن کاملOn the design of band-pass quadrature ΣΔ modulators
A design methodology for quadrature band-pass Σ∆ modulator is proposed. The methodology uses a novel approach by locking IF frequency to sampling frequency which may considered as a disadvantage but as shown in this text that actually it is vice versa. The method is presented with derivation of the base circuitry and examples provided in order to present that the method is adequate for satisfyi...
