Problems solved by technology

[0012] Tuning of these ΣΔ ADCs is very complex, and due to this complexity, the tuning range may be limited
Therefore, tuning these modulators for higher frequencies would mean higher complexity, higher power consumption, and larger size for the ΣΔ ADC circuit
As a result, such ΣΔ ADCs cannot be used in a wide variety of applications, or small enough to be integrated in small and compact wireless telecommunication equipment

Abstract

A Sigma-Delta ([Sigma][Delta]) modulator for converting an analog input signal having a frequency bandwidth around a variable center frequency f 0 to a digital output signal at a sampling frequency fs . The [Sigma][Delta] modulator comprises a quantizer (420) for generating the digital output signal and a loop filter for shaping the quantization noise. The loop filter comprises at least one subfilter (430, 410) centered around a frequency f0 and constant noise shaping coefficients (451, 452, 453). The [Sigma][Delta] modulator further comprises a tunable delay element (455), a frequency adjuster (480) for adjusting the sampling frequency f s such that the normalized center frequency f0/fs is constant, and a delay adjuster (490) for adjusting the loop delay td implemented by the quantizer and the tunable delay element (455), such that the normalized loop delay td/Ts falls in a predetermined range [tmin,tmax], where Ts=1/fs.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to sigma-delta modulators (Sigma-Delta modulators), analog-to-digital converters, and methods of converting analog signals to digital signals using sigma-delta modulators. Background technique [0002] Sigma-delta modulators are used to implement radio frequency (RF) receivers in many different types of wireless telecommunications equipment. These wireless telecommunication devices can be used in several applications such as Software Defined Radio (SDR), Cognitive Radio (CR), Internet of Things (IoT) and base stations or cellular telephones. These wireless telecommunication devices, for example, comply with different wireless telecommunication standards including GSM / GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, LTE, Wi-Fi, ZigBee, Bluetooth, etc. and therefore must be able to convert analog input signals with various frequency ranges. [0003] already described figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a highly digitized RF receiver 100...
