Quadrature delta sigma modular design with adjustable bandwidth and center frequency

author

Abstract:

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 changed by varies in the complex coefficients, and the structure of the modulator is no changed.  The proposed modulator is usable in multi standard receivers as well as in receivers with variable frequency input signal or frequency hopping. The center frequency of this modulator is from 0 to 1/4 fs and its bandwidth can be changed from zero to 1/12 fs.An example of quadrature modulator is designed with the proposed design method at the circuit level. The modulator is simulated for 2MHz and 5MHz bandwidths with a sampling frequency of 64MHz. The SNR for these bandwidths are 76.42dB and 56.59dB, respectively. The FOM has been calculated to be 0.375 and 1.46 (pj / conv), respectively.

The Design of A High-Bandwidth Sigma-Delta Modulator

The design of a high-bandwidth Σ∆ modulator which achieves 10 bits of resolution with a conversion rate of 20 MS/s is presented. The oversampling ratio is 16, requiring a sampling frequency of 320 MHz. The modulator is implemented as a fourth-order 2-1-1 cascade using switched-capacitor integrators, which is amenable to simple implementations in a CMOS process. The component values are scaled t...

A Novel Defected Ground Structure with Both Adjustable Center Frequency and Reconfigurable Bandwidth

A new defected ground structure (DGS) with tunable working frequency and reconfigurable bandwidth is proposed in this paper. The prototype combines the conventional DGS with T-shaped patch featuring narrow bandwidth and two such units located symmetrically featuring wide bandwidth. The proposed structure is designed, simulated and measured. By embedding two reversely-set PIN diodes and four var...

Cascaded Feedforward Sigma-delta Modulator for Wide Bandwidth Applications

A new sigma-delta modulator architecture for wide bandwidth application called cascaded feedforward sigma-delta modulator is proposed in this paper. This sigma-delta modulator is similar to the conventional feedforward summation sigma-delta modulator. The conventional feedforward summation sigma-delta modulator uses multi-bit feedback and therefore a multi-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) ...

Double-sampling highpass delta-sigma modulator with inherent frequency translation

A double-sampling highpass delta-sigma modulator (HPDSM) with inherent frequency translation is presented. The switched-capacitor highpass filter with double-sampling not only minimizes the number of capacitors required in the feedback network but also enables chopper stabilization which makes the modulator immune to 1/f noise and DC offset. A first-order prototype HPDSM with 3bit quantization ...

Comparator Design for Delta Sigma Modulator

In wide band communication systems, low power and high speed ADCs forms the main building blocks. These ADCs are commonly seen in the front end of the radio frequency receivers. Comparators are used in these ADCs. A CMOS Comparator design, based on amplifier-push pull inverter circuit is elaborated in this paper, which is intended to be used as the 1-bit ADC required for the implementation of a...
