A search sphere-based linear block decoder is provided. A received vector, v, is decoded by computing a syndrome vector, S, corresponding to the received vector, v; (S=vH); obtaining a set of all possible error vectors, e, corresponding to the computed syndrome vector, S, wherein the set of all possible error vectors, e, is obtained from a pre-computed error table and has a specified maximum number of bit errors; calculating a set of all possible received vectors, x, based on the received vector, v, and the set of all possible error vectors, e; determining a k-bit code-vector x that is closest to the received vector, v; and determining an n-bit data-vector, d, associated with the k-bit code-vector x. The pre-computed error table can be generated by multiplying all possible error vectors by a Syndrome Matrix, to obtain all possible syndrome vectors associated with all possible error vectors.

Methods and apparatus are provided for direct synthesis of RF signals using a delta-sigma modulator. An RF signal is synthesized from an input signal by quantizing the input signal using a quantizer, such as a one bit quantizer; determining a quantization error associated with the quantizer; generating an error prediction value using an error predictive filter, wherein the error predictive filter comprises one or more filter zeroes on a unit circle for one or more desired frequencies of f1, f2, . . . fn and one or more filter poles having a magnitude inside the unit circle and a frequency substantially equal to the one or more desired frequencies of f1, f2, . . . fn; and subtracting the error prediction value from the input signal. The filter poles have a magnitude that reduces a boost provided out-of-band.

Methods and apparatus are provided for decorrelating quantization noise in a delta-sigma modulator. An input signal is quantized using a predictive delta-sigma modulator, by quantizing the input signal using a quantizer; determining a quantization error associated with the quantizer by subtracting an input to the quantizer from an output of the quantizer; measuring a correlation coefficient between the quantization error and an input to the quantizer; reducing the measured correlation by subtracting a multiple of the input to the quantizer from the quantization error, wherein the multiple is based on the correlation coefficient; generating an error prediction value using an error predictive filter; and subtracting the error prediction value from the input signal.

Methods and apparatus are provided for look-ahead block processing in predictive delta-sigma modulators. An input signal is quantized using a predictive delta-sigma modulator by generating error prediction values for a current block of input values based on a linear combination of error prediction values from one or more previous blocks, input values of one or more previous blocks, quantized values of one or more previous blocks and the current block of input values; computing speculative error prediction values for at least one input value in the current block, wherein the speculative error prediction values are computed for a plurality of possible quantizer output values; selecting one of the speculative error prediction values based on a quantized value from the current block; and subtracting the error prediction values for the current block from the corresponding current block of input values.

Methods and apparatus are provided for whitening quantization noise in a delta-sigma modulator using a dither signal. An input signal is quantized using a predictive delta-sigma modulator by quantizing the input signal using a quantizer; adding a dither signal at a first location of the predictive delta-sigma modulator; determining a quantization error associated with the quantizer; removing the dither signal at a second location of the predictive delta-sigma modulator (for example, by subtracting a substantially similar version of the dither signal at the second location); generating an error prediction value using an error predictive filter; and subtracting the error prediction value from the input signal. The dither signal may be a white noise signal and may optionally be generated using a pseudo-random number generator.
