A novel optimization method for CT sigma-delta-modulators using a switched system model

TL;DR: An approach to analyse the stability of continuous time ΣΔ data converters is presented and a new method to define optimized parameter sets without a large number of simulations is shown.

Gate signal jitter elimination and noise shaping modulation for high-SNR Class-D power amplifiers

TL;DR: In this article, a jitter elimination technique for the transistor gate signals in power electronic converters is presented and verified, which enables half-bridge output voltage SNR values of more than 100dB in an open-loop system.

A low-cost first-order sigma-delta converter design and analysis

TL;DR: The design and analysis of an interface circuit for MEMS or biomedical sensor applications that performs the function of an analog-to-digital converter is presented and it is proved that sigma-delta is performing better in the case of weak signals acquisition.

Analysis of ΔΣ-synchronization in wireless sensor nodes

TL;DR: The use of a ΔΣ-modulator in the nodes of a wireless sensor network, which is a new method to achieve long term synchronization, is analysed and a relation between synchronization accuracy and word length of the internal arithmetic is shown.

STF optimization of 1-bit CT ΣΔ modulators based on scaled loop filter coefficients

TL;DR: It is shown that, depending on the initial design, it is possible to define optimized parameter sets with increased performance and remaining flat STF or sets with constant performance and reduced STF peaking.

A higher order topology for interpolative modulators for oversampling A/D converters

TL;DR: Higher order modulators are shown not only to greatly reduce oversampling requirements for high-resolution conversion applications, but also to randomize the quantization noise, avoiding the need for dithering.

Decimation for Sigma Delta Modulation

TL;DR: It is shown that digital filters comprising cascades of integrate-and-dump functions can match the structure of the noise from sigma delta modulation to provide decimation with negligible loss of signal-to-noise ratio.

An analysis of nonlinear behavior in delta - sigma modulators

TL;DR: This paper introduces a new method of analysis for deltasigma modulators based on modeling the nonlinear quantizer with a linearized gain, obtained by minimizing a mean-square-error criterion, followed by an additive noise source representing distortion components.

The Structure of Quantization Noise from Sigma-Delta Modulation

TL;DR: Simple algebraic expressions for this modulation noise and its spectrum in terms of the input amplitude are derived and can be useful for designing oversampled analog to digital converters that use sigma-delta modulation for the primary conversion.

A fourth-order bandpass sigma-delta modulator

TL;DR: The modulator of a bandpass analog/digital (A/D) converter, with 63 dB signal/noise for broadcast AM bandwidth signals centered at 455 kHz, has been implemented by modifying a commercial digital-audio sigma-delta ( Sigma Delta ) converter.
