    摘要: A programmable dynamic range receiver which provides the requisite level of performance at reduced power consumption. The .SIGMA..DELTA. ADC within the receiver is designed with one or more loops. Each loop provides a predetermined dynamic range performance. The loops can be enabled or disabled based on the required dynamic range and a set of dynamic range thresholds. The .SIGMA..DELTA. ADC is also designed with adjustable bias current. The dynamic range of the .SIGMA..DELTA. ADC varies approximately proportional to the bias current. By adjusting the bias current, the required dynamic range can be provided by the .SIGMA..DELTA. ADC with minimal power consumption. A reference voltage of the .SIGMA..DELTA. ADC can be descreased when high dynamic range is not required, thereby allowing for less bias current in the .SIGMA..DELTA. ADC and supporting circuitry. The dynamic range of the .SIGMA..DELTA. ADC is a also function of the oversampling ratio which is proportional to the sampling frequency. High dynamic range requires a high oversampling ratio. When high dynamic range is not required, the sampling frequency can be lowered.

    摘要: A communication receiver (600) utilizes a band-pass sigma-delta converter (100) for receiving a radio signal. The band-pass sigma-delta converter (100) includes a comparator (106) coupled to an adder-filter (101) for making a comparison between a predetermined reference level (110) and an intermediate signal (125), and for generating a comparison result signal (114) responsive to the comparison. A storage element (108) is used for storing the comparison result signal (114) for a predetermined delay period, thereby producing a clocked output signal (118). The adder-filter (101) is coupled to an analog signal (103) and to the clocked output signal (118) for subtracting the clocked output signal (118) from the analog signal (103) to produce a difference signal (120) that is filtered by a commutating filter (400) for generating the intermediate signal (125) responsive to the difference signal (120).

    摘要: A sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter (10) provides high loop gain for suppression of noise components by use of a regenerative feedback loop or resonator (50), which produces a comb resonance response 212), embedded in the main degenerative feedback loop (48). The main loop includes an ADC (32) which samples at a clock frequency, which in turn defines a Nyquist frequency. The main loop also includes a DAC (38) which has a transfer function (42), which is equalized by a filter (44). The resonator (50) includes a low-pass filter (52) which matches the equalized main loop transfer function, a DC block (56), and a null filter (54) which nulls the resonator gain at the comb peak which lies above the Nyquist frequency. The open-loop transfer function of the regenerative loop (50) is set to unity gain and 0.degree..+-.N 360.degree. phase at the frequency of the analog input signal. A multipole embodiment (510) has multiple regenerative loops (55o) which produce multipole noise rejection (642). Resonators (751) are used in other .SIGMA..DELTA. ADCs (790, 890).

    摘要: A digitally driven, analog bandpass filter has an analog summer and two analog delay elements connected in a loop. An input signal to the filter is applied to a plus input terminal of the summer, and the output of the second delay elements is applied to a minus input terminal of the summer. The output of filter may be taken either from the output of the summer, or from the output of the second delay element, or from any point in between. Each delay element is driven by a two phase non-overlapping clock, and each element passes a charge from a first capacitor through an op amp to either a second capacitor (first phase) or a third capacitor (second phase). Amplification may be provided by adjusting the ratio of the second (or third) capacitor to the first capacitor. If a differential op amp is used, both sides of the op amp are clocked together, and each side has its own trio of capacitors identical to the trio on the other side. The passband is centered precisely on one-quarter of the clock frequency, and does not vary with manufacturing variances in the components of the filter.

    摘要: Provided are, among other things, systems, apparatuses, methods and techniques for converting a continuous-time, continuously variable signal into a sampled and quantized signal. One such apparatus includes an input line for accepting an input signal that is continuous in time and continuously variable, multiple processing branches coupled to the input line, and an adder coupled to outputs of the processing branches, with each of the processing branches including a bandpass noise-shaping circuit, a sampling/quantization circuit coupled to an output of the bandpass noise-shaping circuit, a digital bandpass filter coupled to an output of the sampling/quantization circuit, and a line coupling an output of the sampling/quantization converter circuit back into the bandpass noise-shaping circuit. A center frequency of the digital bandpass filter in each processing branch corresponds to a stopband region in a quantization noise transfer function for the bandpass noise-shaping circuit in the same processing branch.
