Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods for power amplification and signal transmission using complex delta-sigma modulation are disclosed. In one embodiment, a complex delta sigma modulator unit comprising a complex polar quantizer within an integrator loop is disclosed. The complex polar quantizer quantizes the envelope of a complex integrated signal and produces a complex quantized output signal of substantially constant envelope. The complex quantized output signal is used in deriving a complex feedback signal within the integrator loop of the complex DSM. The complex quantized output signal may be used in driving a power amplifier substantially at saturation. In some embodiments, an adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) enhancement technique is used to reduce the quantization noise in the complex quantized output signal.

Abstract:
This specification discloses a level de-multiplexed DSM based transmitter and a method for providing the same. Broadly embodiments of the present specification enable wireless transmitters that are based on multi-level de-multiplexed DSM. A three-level de- multiplexed DSM based transmitter is disclosed as an example. More generally, the use of m-level de-multiplexed DSM is also taught, the specification thereby being enabling for broader applications to a person skilled in the art. At least one of the efficiency and linearity of transmitters can be enhanced as required for specific applications by a person of skill in the art in view of this specification and the teachings of its disclosed embodiments.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a system for galvanic isolation between an analogue input signal and an analogue output signal, which system performs an analogue to digital conversion of the input signals into input digital data. Hereby it is achieved that any correction of input parameters can be performed in a nearly perfect way.
Abstract:
A parallel, multi-stage noise shaping (MASH) de!fa-sigma (?S) modulator reduces the required operating frequency by predicting the inputs to later stages of a serial MASH modulator to be multiples of the MASH input. An Nth order parallel MASH ?S modulator generates N outputs (one from each stage) in a single modulator cycle. Accordingly, the Nth order parallel MASH ?S modulator may be operated at 1/N the frequency of a corresponding prior art Nth order serial MASH ?S modulator.

Abstract:
A system (10) and method that generate bit-streams that result in higher compression gains. The system is akin to a normal 1-bit SDM. Internally, the system (10) tries to find the best possible bit sequence by tracing N possible solutions at every time instant. In an implementation, the system has N > I trellis path structures (20). Every path is used to track a possible output bitstream. The quality of a bitstream is determined by measuring the (frequency weighted) difference between input and output; it is this measure that is reduced or minimized.
