    摘要: A delta sigma modulator that has a low power dissipation without sacrificing modulator resolution includes, in one embodiment, a current mode digital to analog converter (DAC) in shunt with a conventional op amp in the first stage of the delta sigma modulator. By adding the current mode DAC in shunt with the first (or only) stage op amp of the delta sigma modulator, the slewing current needed during transients is provided by the combination of the op amp and DAC output signals. Since the DAC provides the slewing current required for the output signal change, the op amp need not apply the slewing current and therefore need only operate at low quiescent power.

    摘要: A delta-sigma modulator includes, in one embodiment, cascaded unit-delay integrators, the number of which is selected depending upon the order desired. The modulator further includes an n-bit (or multi-bit) A/D converter coupled to the output of the last cascaded integrator, and an n-bit (or multi-bit) D/A converter coupled to the output of the A/D converter. A truncator also is coupled to the output of the A/D converter. Truncation error correction is performed digitally by a truncation corrector. A one-bit D/A converter provides feedback from the output of the truncator to differential summing junctions interposed at the input of each unit-delay integrator. The multi-bit D/A converter output signal is fed back to differential summing junctions at the input of the third order and higher unit-delay integrators. The multi-bit D/A converter requires no digital correction of its linearity and only unit-delay integrators are used so that N-1 delay free integrators do not all have to settle within one clock period. The modulator therefore utilizes multiple quantizer bits to provide increased converter resolution and is stable at high orders.

    摘要: A delta sigma modulator which enables each cascaded integrator to settle independently within a full clock period and uses binomial coefficients in the feedback paths to obtain the required sinusoidal shaping of quantizer error, achieves an increase in both the sampling rate and the order to improve resolution. Using a multi-bit quantizer also improves modulator resolution. In one embodiment, the modulator includes a plurality of cascaded unit-delay integrators and utilizes binomial coefficient scaling in the feedback loop. A multi-bit analog-to-digital converter is coupled to receive the output signal of the cascaded unit-delay integrators. The feedback loop includes a multi-bit digital-to-analog converter coupled to the output of the multi-bit analog-to-digital converter. The output of the digital-to-analog converter is coupled to the inputs of at least the first and second differential summing junctions.

    摘要: Delta sigma modulators for accepting input signals having amplitudes up to -1 dB of full-scale and a center frequency (F.sub.S) in the range �F.sub.S /90, 44F 90!, and which are not prone to internal overflow, require few circuit parameters, and yield a signal transfer function with the inherent property that the modulator magnitude response is close to unity gain in the frequency region of interest include, in one embodiment, a pair of cascaded integrators, a unit delay element coupled to the output of the second integrator, an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter, and a one-bit digital-to-analog (D/A) converter controlled by output signals from the A/D converter. A first differential summing junction coupled to the output of the D/A converter is responsive to delta sigma modulator input signals. A second differential summing junction, coupled to the output of the first differential summing junction, is also coupled to receive a feedback signal from the second integrator. A third differential summing junction, coupled to the output of the unit delay element, also receives feed-forward signals from the second integrator.

    摘要: A discrete multi-tone, asymmetrical transceiver and method wherein a modem at a central office transmits information to a modem at a remote terminal on a down-stream signal and the modem at the remote terminal transmits information to the modem at the central office on an up-stream signal. The up-stream signal comprising data carried by a lower portion of a predetermined band of frequencies and the down-stream signal comprising data carried by an upper portion of the predetermined band of frequencies. The system includes an interpolator, at the remote terminal, for adding interpolated data into a stream of data distributed by the remote terminal modem among the lower portion of the predetermined band of frequencies for transmission in the up-stream signal. An ADC is provided at the modem of the central office, for converting the down-stream signal into digital samples at a sampling rate greater than the frequency of the highest frequency in the down-stream signal. A decimator is fed samples from the ADC at the ADC sampling rate and produces output samples at a lower sampling rate. A demodulator is fed the samples produced by the decimator at the lower sampling rate and converts such samples into the lower portion of the predetermined band of frequencies. The interpolator increases the rate of samples produced on the up-stream signal and thereby increases the frequency of images in such up-stream signal for more effective removal by the band pass filter of the remote terminal. Images in the up-stream signal which may couple into the receiver at the central office are increased in frequency and then are effective filtering by the decimator.

    摘要: A resonance tuner receives and digitizes an analog signal in response to a resonance of a structure thereby creating a plurality of time samples. A series of the time samples are buffered upon burst detection. A power spectrum is estimated by computing a Time-To-Frequency-Transform of the series of time samples and a magnitude of each of the resulting frequency samples is squared. At least one subset associated with at least one spectral peak is selected from the frequency samples. Each spectral peak has at least one sample with a sufficient magnitude and being spectrally adjacent to any other sample in another spectral peak by less than a threshold. A fundamental spectral peak is determined in a fundamental subset including a spectral peak with a sample at the lowest frequency greater than zero. The fundamental spectral peak has the sample with the largest magnitude within the fundamental subset.
