摘要:
A receiver and method is provided for sigma-delta converting an RF signal to a digital signal and downconverting to a digital baseband signal. The RF signal is split into N phases, as can be accomplished using a sample and hold circuit, and each phase is digitized, as can be accomplished using an analog-to-digital (A/D) sigma-delta converter. Polyphase decimation techniques and demodulation are applied to the phased signals to generate a demodulated digital signal. The demodulated digital signal is further downconverted to the appropriate baseband signal.

A multi-path time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter (MP-ADC) exploits an additional reference ADC cyclically connected in parallel to each ADC component part to be calibrated of the multi-path ADC, which can be of any kind, in particular sigma-delta, to whom conventional calibration techniques cannot be applied because of its stochastic behaviour. For each ADC component part the algebraic differences between successive digital outputs of the reference ADC and the ADC under calibration are forwarded to an accumulator circuit (13) which integrates them over a given time slot, obtaining a digital word (CH1',...,CH4') proportional to the difference between the offset of the two paths. A digital adder adds up the digital word so obtained to the output of the ADC component part under calibration multiplied by a scale factor which depends on the length of the given time slot. After a reasonable time the voltage offset of each individual path is proportional to the voltage offset of the only reference path, not necessarily zero. Optionally, the outputs of the digital adder are de-scaled by the same scale factor, restoring the original value. The time-interleaved ADC is continuously running and the voltage offset calibration is performed in background without affecting the normal operation (fig.7) .

A wireless receiver receives a wireless signal by inverting the polarity (78) of an incoming waveform on every one half clock cycle of a conversion clock to produce a commutated waveform and converting said commutated waveform to a series of representative digital values using a delta-sigma modulator (80, 82, 84, 86) clocked by the conversion clock. In this way, the receiver operates over a large dynamic range and the use of automatic gain control in the front end may be eliminated.

摘要:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a delta-sigma modulator (DSM) using time-interleaved (TI) successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). For example, two SAR ADCs may be configured to alternately sample and process an input signal and provide a feedback signal for the DSM using excess loop delay (ELD). In other aspects, the DSM may be implemented using a two-step SAR quantizer. For example, a first SAR ADC may sample an input signal to generate a most-significant bit (MSB) portion of an output of the DSM, while the second SAR ADC may subsequently sample a residue from the first SAR ADC conversion and generate a least-significant bit (LSB) portion of the output of the DSM. With these techniques, higher bandwidths may be obtained in high accuracy delta-sigma ADCs without using increased sampling rates.

A delta sigma modulator which has improved the dynamic range. The ΔΣ modulator has a plurality of ADCs and a plurality of DACs, the plurality of ADCs and DACs are connected in a loop. The plurality of ADCs are coupled with an incoming analog signal. A clock generator provides a plurality of clock signals which control the plurality of ADCs and the plurality of DACs, the clock signals being offset relative to each other in the time domain thereby enabling each ADC in the plurality of ADCs one at a time and each DAC in the plurality of DACs one at a time so that the ΔΣ modulator processes data in the incoming analog signal in an interleaved fashion. The delta sigma modulator has an Nth order filter in a forward path of the loop.
