Abstract: A digital conversion system including a sigma-delta converter, a signal generator providing a substantially symmetrical injection signal that is injected into the sigma-delta converter conversion path, bandpass filters for filtering the injection signal and the output of the sigma-delta converter, a correlator that correlates the filtered signals for providing an error signal, and a loop controller that uses the error signal to adjust a resonant frequency of the sigma-delta converter to output a target notch frequency. The loop controller may adjust a resonant frequency of a loop filter of the sigma-delta converter, in which the bandpass filters may each be centered at the target notch frequency at the output of the sigma-delta converter. The correlator may include a complex conjugate block, a multiplier and a mean calculator. The loop controller may include a converter and an amplifier and an integrator or a least-mean square block.

Abstract: Corrections are provided for mismatches between an in-phase (I) signal and a quadrature-phase (Q) signal, the I and Q signals having a first frequency band. A frequency filter circuit filters the I and Q signals to produce a filtered I and Q output with a second frequency band that is a subset of the first frequency band. Digital circuitry includes a multiple-tap correction filter having a plurality of taps and configured to generate I and Q output signals by filtering the I and Q signals according to respective sets of coefficients for the plurality of taps. A coefficient estimator generates the sets of coefficients relative to different frequency bands.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to compensating for errors in in an analog-to-digital converter circuit (ADC). As may be implemented in accordance with one or more embodiments, an apparatus and/or method involves an ADC that converts an analog signal into a digital signal using an output from a digital-to-analog converter circuit (DAC). A compensation circuit generates a compensation output by, for respective signal portions provided to the DAC, generating a feedback signal based on an incompatibility between the conversion of the signal portions into an analog signal and the value of the signal portions provided to the DAC. A compensation output is generated based on the signal input to the DAC with a gain applied thereto, based on the feedback signal.

Abstract: A digital conversion system including a sigma-delta converter, a tone generator that generates injects a tone signal into the conversion path of the sigma-delta converter at a frequency that is outside operating signal frequency range, a tone detector that isolates and detects a level of the injected tone signal and provides a corresponding tone level value, a tone ratio comparator that converts the tone level value into a tone level ratio and that compares the converted tone level ratio with an expected tone level ratio to provide an error signal, and a loop controller that converts the error signal to a correction signal to adjust a loop filter frequency the sigma-delta converter. Tones may be serially injected one at a time or simultaneously in parallel for determining a measured tone level ratio for comparison with a corresponding one of multiple stored expected tone level ratios.
