Delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter, radio receiver, communication apparatus, method, and computer program
Abstract:
A delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is disclosed. The ADC comprises a forward path structure; a feedback structure; and a first subtraction element arranged to receive an input signal to the delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter and a feedback signal from the feedback structure and output a difference signal, which is a difference between the input signal and the feedback signal, to the forward path structure, wherein the forward path structure comprises a quantizer arranged to convert an analog input signal to a digital representation; a forward path filter arranged to input the difference signal and provide an output signal to the quantizer, and the feedback structure comprises a first and a second branch, wherein the first branch comprises a first digital-to-analog converter arranged to provide output signals to the subtraction element; and a first feedback filter having a gain to frequency characteristic such that frequencies that are desired in the analog-to-digital conversion, compared to undesired frequencies, are attenuated in the feedback structure, and the second branch comprises a second digital-to-analog converter, wherein the first and second branches are fed by the digital representation and the outputs of the first and second branches are merged in a second subtraction element arranged to output a signal, which is a difference between the signals from the first and second branches, to the first subtraction element. A radio receiver, communication apparatus, method for analog-to-digital conversion, and computer program for implementing the method are also disclosed.
