Spectral Characteristics of the Double-Loop Sigma–Delta Modulator

چکیده
An important factor affecting the performance of modulators is their tone behavior. A recent approach to alleviate the tone problem consists of moving the open-loop poles outside the unit circle. In this paper, we determine the frequency location of two dominant tones as a function of pole-location, and discuss the effect of pole location on the relative amplitude of low-frequency tones. Audio testing along with a series of simulations are then performed to compare the efficacy of pole placement with that of the more traditional tone removal technique of dithering.

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 کاملThe Double Loop Sigma Delta Modulator with Unstable Filter Dynamics: Stability Analysis and Tone Beh - Circuits and Systems II: Analog and Digital Signal Processing, IEEE Transactions on
Conventional TA modulators suffer from idle tones. In order to alleviate the tone problem, TA modulators with unstable filter dynamics have been proposed. In this paper we present an analysis of the saturation characteristics and tone behavior of the double loop EA modulator with unstable filter dynamics. We begin by deriving stability boundaries for the double loop EA modulator with unstable f...
