Abstract:
A test signal with given spectral characteristics is injected at input to the quantizer stage of the converter. The same test signal is subjected to cross-correlation with a given signal so as to generate coefficients used for filtering the quantization noise converted into digital form. In this way, a compensation signal is obtained that is applied to the output signal of the quantizer stage jointly with a first compensation signal obtained by applying, to the quantization noise converted into digital form, the same transfer function 28) of the converter. In this way a signal is obtained which, in addition to being used as the global output signal of the converter, is also used for the aforesaid operation of cross-correlation with the test signal.
