Abstract: A Delta-Sigma modulator architecture is disclosed that uses interleaving and dynamic matching algorithms to address the needs of multi-mode, multi-band high bandwidth transmitters. The proposed architecture also supports a novel software defined transmitter architecture based on an interleaved Delta-Sigma modulator to generate RF signals. The proposed architecture leverages interleaving concepts to relax subcomponent clock rates without changing the effective oversampling ratio, thus, making it easier to reach aggressive dynamic range goals across wider bandwidths at higher frequencies. The DEM algorithm helps to randomize mismatch errors across all interleaved paths and improves substantially the signal-to-noise ratio. Additionally, a tunable bandpass filter can be added to reject out-of-band emissions.

Abstract: A method of and an apparatus for reducing noise in a non-Foster circuit having at least a pair of cross coupled transistor devices, each transistor device of the pair of cross coupled transistor devices having a pair of current carrying electrodes. The method and apparatus involves coupling inductors with each pair of the current carrying electrodes of each of the cross-coupled transistor devices in the non-Foster circuit, the inductors also being coupled with voltage and/or current sources associated with or coupled to the non-Foster circuit. The nominal values of the inductors are selected to provide a load asymmetry, so that the load inductor in the input side of the non-Foster circuit has a larger inductance than the load inductor at the output side of non-Foster circuit.

Abstract: An asynchronous pulse domain to synchronous digital domain converter for converting pulse domain signals in an input asynchronous pulse domain data stream to synchronous digital domain signals in a data output stream. The converter comprises a plurality of counters arranged in a ring configuration with only one counter in the ring being responsive at any given time to positive and negative going pulses in the input asynchronous pulse domain data stream, each counter, when so responsive, counting a number of time units between either (i) a positive going pulse and an immediately following negative going pulse or (ii) a negative going pulse and an immediately following positive going pulse, the counts of the counters when so responsive being synchronously converted to synchronous digital domain signals in the data output stream. The disclosed asynchronous pulse domain to synchronous digital domain converter can be used with spike domain signals if desired.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A radar system in which Coded Aperture Radar processing is performed on received radar signals reflected by one or more objects in a field of view which reflect a transmitted signal which covers a field of view with K sweeps and each sweep including Q frequency changes. For Type II CAR, the transmitted signal also includes N modulated codes per frequency step. The received radar signals are modulated by a plurality of binary modulators the results of which are applied to a mixer. The output of the mixer, for one acquisition results in a set of Q·K (for Type I CAR) or Q·K·N (for Type II CAR) complex data samples, is distributed among a number of digital channels, each corresponding to a desired beam direction. For each channel, the complex digital samples are multiplied, sample by sample, by a complex signal mask that is different for each channel.
