    摘要: A digital delta-sigma modulator (DDSM) is disclosed with an input signal x[n], an output signal y[n], a quantization error signal e[n] and a dither signal d[n], having an equation described in the z-domain by


    Y(z)=STF(z)X(z)+DTF(z)D(z)−NTF(z)E(z)

    wherein Y(z), X(z), D(z) and E(z) are z-transforms of the output signal, the input signal, the dither signal, and the quantization error signal, and wherein STF(z), DTF(z) and NTF(z) correspond to a transfer function of the input signal, a transfer function of the dither signal, and a transfer function of the quantization error signal, and wherein the transfer function of the quantization error signal is of the form:
