With the rapid growth of the Internet, acquiring digital contents over the Internet has become commonplace. Most traditional items can be translated into digital form. That is to say the digital contents can be distributed easily and rapidly to users over the Internet. Unfortunately, situations of piracy are common and become more serious, since the digital contents can be copied and distribute...

An algorithm has been developed using Matlab that takes an image of a sketch of one or more functions, plotted on the xand yaxes, and converts it into an electronic plot, along with the set of equations and parameters that recreate the same plot. This is accomplished by extraction of the plot data, followed by data grouping based on three different heuristic methods (colour, slope and process o...

An ideal radio communication receiver places the analog to digital conversion just after the antenna. It is an objective in a Òsoftware radioÓ perspective. The available silicon technologies do not provide the performance required by this application. We are able to evaluate the present limits and the gap between these limits and the ideal solution proposed. In this paper, we describe the prese...

There exist measuring devices where an analog input is converted into a digital output. Such converters can have a nonlinear internal dynamics. We show how measurements with such converting devices can be understood using concepts from symbolic dynamics. Our approach is based on a nonlinear one-to-one mapping between the analog input and the digital output of the device. We analyze the Bernoull...

Delta-sigma modulation for analog-to-digital conversion resolves a number of bits logarithmic in the number of modulation cycles, and linear in modulation order. As an alternative to higher-order noise shaping, we present an algorithmic scheme that iteratively resamples the modulation residue, by feeding the integrator output back to the input. This yields a bit resolution linear in the number ...

State-of-the-art data communication systems make extensive use of digital hardware. Besides baseband modulation functions, also the frequency tuning functions are now being shifted from analog to digital implementation. Integration, cost and ease of programming are the primary motivations for doing this. This paper presents an alternative to the traditional digital frequency conversion architec...

Two digital techniques are described in this tutorial, both aimed at improving the accuracy of delta-sigma data converters. The first one corrects adaptively for mismatch errors in a MASH ADC, while the other acquires and then corrects for the nonlinearity of the intemal multibit DAC used in the ADC.

This paper proposes a generic algorithm for k-bit Analog to Digital Conversion. The proposed algorithm is very fast method of conversion of an analog signal into k-bit digital output in a multi-bit parallel fashion. The algorithm employs m stages, each of which is capable of producing bits such that k/m bits are converted at the same time. Thus, this algorithm can be considered a k = n X m conv...

Accuracy of oversampled analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion, the dependence of accuracy on the sampling interval and on the bit rate are characteristics fundamental to A/D conversion but not completely understood. These characteristics are studied in this paper for oversampled A/D conversion of band-limited signals in ( ). We show that the digital sequence obtained in the process of oversampled ...
