To provide a complex bandpass ΔΣAD modulator capable of suppressing the influence of an image component caused by a mismatch between I- and Q-channels on a signal component with low power consumption. A complex bandpass ΔΣAD modulator 10 is configured by a subtraction unit 20, a complex bandpass filter 30, an addition unit 40, a noise extraction circuit unit 50, an ADC unit 60, and a DAC unit 70. The noise extraction circuit unit 50 extracts a quantized noise signal of the ADC unit 60 based on an input signal of the ADC unit 60 and an output signal of the DAC unit 70, delays the extracted quantized noise signal by one sample time, phase-rotates the delayed signal by a predetermined angle, and feeds back the rotated signal to the input side of the ADC unit 60. Thus, a complex bandpass ΔΣAD modulator capable of suppressing the influence of the image component caused by a mismatch between I- and Q-channels on the signal component with low power consumption is provided.

In order to convert a complex analog signal into a complex digital signal in an analog-digital conversion device having two channels, I and Q respectively, in quadrature, each comprising an input and an associated output, each output being fed back onto said associated input so as to form a first and a second feedback loops each comprising a digital-analog converter, the device comprising a complex filter with a first stage and a last stage, after sampling (508), a signal integration is performed in a first stage (501) of the filter without introducing any substantial delay. Then, an integration is performed in the last stage (502) of the filter. A substantial delay (507) is then introduced and the output signal of the last stage is converted into a digital signal over several bits. The digital signal is injected into the feedback loop (108) of said channel and the digital signal is converted into a feedback signal.

A radio receiver comprises an input (10) coupled to first and second quadrature related low-IF frequency translation stages (20, 21) generating IF signals at substantially half the channel bandwidth or channel spacing. The IF signals which may be optionally filtered in a pre-filter (28), for example a polyphase filter, are applied to first and second cross-coupled continuous time, low pass Sigma-Delta modulators (30) comprising for example transconductor-capacitor integrators, all but the first integrators of which are cross-coupled by gyrators set to resonate at the IF frequency. Outputs of the Sigma-Delta modulators (30) comprise 1 bit oversampled signals. The oversampled signals in one embodiment are filtered in first decimation stages (32, 34) which provide anti-aliasing. The decimated signals are derotated (38, 40) and decimated in a second decimation means (42, 44) to provide outputs at base band. The outputs are equalised and demodulated to provide an output (48). The input signal may be frequency translated to zero IF and then filtered in low pass filters.

A delta-sigma modulator (325) having a downconverter mixer circuit (30) in the forward path of the modulator circuit and an upconverter mixer (38) in the feedback path of the modulator. The modulator (325) consists of a loop filter having two components, a bandpass filter (28) before the downconverter (30) and a low-pass filter (32, 33) after the down-converter. The mixer circuits can be implemented as single-sideband rejection mixers with in-phase and quadrature paths. In such a modulator, the loop filter component after the quadrature mixer include two low-pass filters (32, 33), one for the in-phase forward path and another for the quadrature forward path. The feedback also has two paths, which are recombined in the quadrature upconverter (38) located prior to the DAC (50) which produces a real, analog signal (23) to be fed back to the input. Multiple arrangements of this type of modulator can be implemented, including arrangements having multiple intermediate feedback paths to both the baseband low-pass filter and the bandpass loop filter sections.

A subtraction section (103) subtracts a first signal from a second signal as a harmonic signal and outputs a third signal as a subtraction result. A first conversion section (105, 106, 107, 108) converts the third signal into a digital signal of predetermined frequency different from a frequency of the second signal. A second conversion section (109, 110, 111, 113) converts the digital signal into an analog signal of a frequency nearly equal to the frequency of the second signal and supplies the analog signal as the first signal to the subtraction section (103). The second conversion section (109, 110, 111, 113) includes a plurality of conversion elements, a filter to calculate a number of use of each of the plurality of conversion elements, and a selector (113) to select the conversion elements having a lower value of the number of use. The number of conversion elements selected corresponds to the value of the digital signal.
摘要:
A radio frequency signal is received by using a sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter to sample the radio frequency signal at a sampling rate and to generate therefrom 1-bit digital samples representing a digital intermediate frequency signal. The intermediate frequency signal is demodulated to generate in-phase and quadrature samples. Demodulation may be performed by generating a first mixed signal by combining the 1-bit digital samples representing the intermediate frequency signal with a first sequence representing a cosine mixing signal; generating a second mixed signal by combining the 1-bit digital samples representing the intermediate frequency signal with a second sequence representing a sine mixing signal; and decimating the first and second mixed signals to generate the in-phase and quadrature samples. In alternative embodiments, the intermediate frequency signal is directly converted to in-phase and quadrature signals by using bandpass decimation filtering to subsample two time-shifted sequences of the intermediate frequency. In another alternative, the sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter uses subsampling to convert the radio frequency signal to a first intermediate frequency, and a decimation filter is used to further convert the signal to a second intermediate frequency. An IQ demodulator then reconstructs the in-phase and quadrature signals from the second intermediate frequency signal.
