A Time-Domain Perspective of the Signal Transfer Function of a Continuous-Time $\Delta\Sigma$ Modulator

TL;DR: A time-domain technique is presented to determine the STF of a CTDSM, valid irrespective of whether the loop filter is time invariant or time varying.

A 4th-Order Wideband Sigma Delta Modulator Using Linear System Theory Technique

TL;DR: This paper explains how to make the modulator stable with the addition of feed-forward and feed-back branches which are used to compensate the extra loop delay and restore the signal and noise transfer functions.

aEEG analog front end IC for a neonatal brain development monitoring

TL;DR: A phantom mimicking neonate’s body conductivity and size was constructed and results showed that differential method of obtaining the signal is necessary for biosignals which amplitude is in 𝜇V, and tests showed that in order to keep the number of bits low, amplification of the signal was required.

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.
