Abstract:
A method is disclosed of compensating the output of an ADC for non-linearity in the response of the ADC. The method comprises converting an analog input signal to uncorrected digital ADC output samples, applying a vector of correction variables to each of a block of uncorrected ADC output samples to provide a block of corrected ADC samples, and iteratively minimizing a measure of the spectral flatness of the block of corrected ADC samples with response to the vector of correction variables.
