This paper presents the design of a 2-2 cascaded continuous-time sigma-delta modulator. The cascaded modulator comprises two stages with second-order continuous-time resonator loopfilters, 4-bit quantizers, and feedback digital-to-analog converters. The digital noise cancellation filter design is determined using continuous-time to discrete-time transformation of the sigma-delta loopfilter transfer functions. The required matching between the analog and digital filter coefficients is achieved by means of simple digital calibration of the noise cancellation filter. Measurement results of a 0.18-/spl mu/m CMOS prototype chip demonstrate 67-dB dynamic range in a 10-MHz bandwidth at 8 times oversampling for a single continuous-time cascaded modulator. Two cascaded modulators in quadrature configuration provide 20-MHz aggregate bandwidth. Measured anti-alias suppression is over 50 dB for input signals in the band from 150 to 170 MHz around the sampling frequency of 160 MHz. 相似文献

A quadrature baseband frequency synthesizer/modulator IC has been designed and fabricated in a 0.5 m CMOS. This quadrature baseband frequency synthesizer/modulator is intended for use in a wide variety of indoor/outdoor portable wireless applications in the 2.4–2.4835 GHz ISM frequency band. This frequency synthesizer/modulator is a capable of frequency and phase modulation. The major components are: a quadrature direct digital synthesizer, digital-to-analog converters and lowpass filters. By programming the quadrature direct digital synthesizer, adaptive channel bandwidths, modulation formats, frequency hopping and data rates are easily achieved. The quadrature baseband direct digital synthesizer produces an 80 MHz frequency band. The quadrature baseband spectrum could be upconverted with off-chip mixers into the 2.4 GHz ISM frequency band. The chip has a complexity of 17,803 transistors with a die area of 24 mm2 and a core area of 9 mm2. The power dissipation is 496 mW at 3.3 V. 相似文献

A complex analog-to-digital converter (ADC) intended for digital intermediate frequency (IF) receiver applications digitizes analog signals at IFs with excellent power/bandwidth efficiency. However, it is vulnerable to mismatches between its in-phase and quadrature (I/Q) paths that can dramatically degrade its performance. The proposed solution mitigates I/Q mismatch effects using a complex sigma-delta (SigmaDelta) modulator cascaded with 9-bit pipeline converters in each of the I and Q paths. The quantization noise of the first stage complex modulator is eliminated using an adaptive scheme to calibrate finite-impulse response digital filters in the digital noise-cancellation logic block. Although low-pass SigmaDelta cascade ADCs are widely used because of their inherent stability and high-order noise shaping, the complex bandpass cascade architecture introduced herein maintains these advantages and doubles the noise shaping bandwidth. Digital calibration also reduces the effects of analog circuit limitations such as finite operational amplifier gain, which enables high performance and low power consumption with high-speed deep-submicrometer CMOS technology. Behavioral simulations of the complex SigmaDelta/pipeline cascade bandpass ADC using the adaptive digital calibration algorithm predict a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 78 dB over a 20-MHz signal bandwidth at a sampling rate of 160 MHz in the presence of a 1% I/Q mismatch. 相似文献

Architecture and circuit design techniques for VLSI implementation of a single-chip quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) modulator with frequency agility and antenna beamforming characteristics are presented. In order to achieve reliable wireless communication modem function, the single chip all-digital QAM modulator implements various features, including high data rates with bandwidth efficiency, flexibility, meeting a wide variety of user throughput requirements with variable and width and data rates in a multi-user system, and robustness, incorporating diversity and redundancy techniques to guarantee robust communication for various operating environments. The modulator components consist of several digital processing building blocks, including various finite-impulse-response (FIR) filters, an innovative variable interpolation filter, a four-channel frequency translator with quadrature mixer for antenna beamforming diversity, a quadrature direct digital frequency synthesizer (QDDFS), a numerically controlled oscillator (NCO), a QAM formatter, a pseudorandom noise (PN) generator, an x/sinx filter, and a microcontroller interface. An optimized architecture and chip implementation for the variable modulator is derived and evaluated which will support symbol rates from 6 kBaud to 8.75 MBaud continuously and digitally flexible IF frequencies up to 70 MHz with four-channel antenna beamforming function 相似文献

This monolithic modulator combines both digital signal processing and analog techniques to realize a high bit-rate quadrature phase-shift keyed (QPSK) modulator. It includes a digital baseband pulse shaping network, analog quadrature modulator, agile carrier generator, spectral shaping, and transmit power control for interfacing to wireline transmission media. Nominal data rates are 256 kbit/s with a carrier range of 8.096-20.128 MHz in 32 kHz steps. Maximum output level is 62 dBmV into a 75 Ω load. The features of 1.2 μm mixed signal BiCMOS technology permit both signal processing and power line drivers to be collocated while achieving better than 85 dB cross-talk isolation 相似文献

A wideband software-defined digital-RF modulator targeting Gb/s data rates is presented. The modulator consists of a 2.625-GS/s digital DeltaSigma modulator, a 5.25-GHz direct digital-RF converter, and a fourth-order auto-tuned passive LC RF bandpass filter. The architecture removes high dynamic range analog circuits from the baseband signal path, replacing them with high-speed digital circuits to take advantage of digital CMOS scaling. The integration of the digital-RF converter with an RF bandpass reconstruction filter eliminates spurious signals and noise associated with direct digital-RF conversion. An efficient passgate adder circuit lowers the power consumption of the high-speed digital processing and a quadrature digital-IF approach is employed to reduce LO feedthrough and image spurs. The digital-RF modulator is software programmable to support variable bandwidths, adaptive modulation schemes, and multi-channel operation within a frequency band. A prototype IC built in 0.13-mum CMOS demonstrates a data rate of 1.2 Gb/s using OFDM modulation in a bandwidth of 200 MHz centered at 5.25 GHz. In-band LO and image spurs are less than -59 dBc without requiring calibration. The modulator consumes 187 mW and occupies a die area of 0.72 mm2. 相似文献

This paper discusses digital compensation for frequency-dependent transfer characteristics and implementation errors in digital PAM/continuous-phase frequency-shift keying (CPFSK) quadrature modulators. Recently, several methods have been proposed to digitally compensate for the shortcomings of the analog reconstruction filters in IQ modulators. While these methods have shown to be effective, they result in filters with long coefficients that are computationally demanding to implement on the DSP. Furthermore, the modulator needs to be taken offline while the precompensation filters are updated to reflect the changes in the I and Q channel characteristics. In this paper, a digital compensation method is proposed here using two adaptive finite-impulse response filters to compensate for the magnitude and phase characteristics of the analog reconstruction filters in the IQ modulator. The experimental results show that this technique is effective and lead to substantial improvement of the output envelope ripples. 相似文献

An oversampling bandpass digital-to-analog converter has been designed so as to eliminate the carrier leak and in-band SNR degradation that accompany I and Q channel mismatch in wireless transmitters. The converter combines a cascaded noise-shaping sigma-delta (/spl Sigma//spl Delta/) modulator with digital finite impulse response (FIR) and mixed-signal semi-digital filters that attenuate out-of-band quantization noise. The performance of the converter in the presence of current source mismatch has been improved through the use of bandpass data weighted averaging. An experimental prototype of the converter, integrated in a 0.25-/spl mu/m CMOS technology, provides 83 dB of dynamic range for a 6.25-MHz signal band centered at 50 MHz, and suppresses out-of-band quantization noise by 38 dB. 相似文献

An integrated digital controller for dc-dc switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) used in portable applications is introduced. The controller has very low power consumption, fast dynamic response, and can operate at programmable constant switching frequencies exceeding 10 MHz. To achieve these characteristics, three novel functional blocks, a digital pulse-width modulator based on second-order sigma-delta concept (Sigma-Delta DPWM), dual-clocking mode compensator, and nonlinear analog-to-digital converter are combined. In steady state, to minimize power consumption, the controller is clocked at a frequency lower than SMPS switching frequency. During transients the clock rate is increased to the switching frequency improving transient response. The controller integrated circuit (IC) is fabricated in a standard 0.18-mum process and tested with a 750-mW buck converter prototype. Experimental results show the controller current consumption of 55 muA/MHz and verify closed-loop operation at programmable switching frequencies up to 12.3 MHz. Simulation results indicating that this architecture can potentially support operation at switching frequencies beyond 100 MHz are also presented. 相似文献

In this paper, design and implementation of a multicarrier quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) modulator for a wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) base-station with a 14-bit on-chip D/A converter is described. The modulator is capable of modulating four carriers with four independent in phase (I) and quadrature (Q) data streams. The proposed modulator structure consists of an interpolation chain for data streams and four digital frequency synthesizer/modulators, which are based on a coordinate rotation digital computer (CORDIC) vector rotation algorithm. The interpolation chain consists of a root-raised cosine pulse shaping filter and three half-band filters for image filtering. The modulated carriers are combined to form a multicarrier WCDMA signal. The SINC-attenuation effect of a digital/analog (D/A) converter is canceled by an inverse-SINC predistortion filter. The multicarrier signal is converted to the analog domain with a 14-bit current steering D/A converter, which is integrated on the same silicon chip. The modulator is implemented with a 0.35-mum BiCMOS process with CMOS transistors only 相似文献

An all-digital architecture is presented for implementing the front-end signal-processing functions in a quadrature modulator and demodulator for high bit-rate digital radio applications. A pair of CMOS chips has been designed and submitted for fabrication in a 1.25-μm process and is expected to accommodate symbol rates up to 35 MBd. The modulator chip accepts a pair of 8-b in-phase and quadrature data streams and generates a bandlimited IF output with an excess bandwidth factor of 35%. The demodulator chip accepts a digitized IF input signal and generates a pair of filtered in-phase and quadrature baseband signals. The modulator and demodulator chips each incorporate 40-tap multiplierless FIR (finite-impulse response) square-root Nyquist matched filters, and the cascade of the two chips achieves a peak intersymbol interference distortion of -54 dB. The modulator chip can generate any arbitrary signal constellation within a rectangular grid of 256×256 points. Thus, the all-digital implementation results in a generic chip set suitable for a wide variety of high bit-rate digital modem designs using formats such as M -ary PSK and QAM 相似文献

The receiver architecture proposed in this brief seizes the subsampling properties of continuous-time sigma-delta (SigmaDelta) modulators based on distributed resonators to construct a quadrature receiver. The proposed architecture is based on a low-pass SigmaDelta modulator that subsamples an intermediate frequency signal around the sampling frequency and does not require quadrature mixers. Instead, the quadrature mixing is replaced by suitably choosing the sampling instants inside the loop. Two practical circuit implementations are proposed. The first one uses separate circuitry for the I and Q paths. The second architecture introduces an innovative way to produce the I and Q outputs that is immune to path mismatch due to the sharing of all the analog circuitry for both paths. The proposed modulator may be feasible for the typical IF frequencies used in cellular base stations. 相似文献

A low-noise cascaded multi-bit sigma-delta pipeline analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with a low over-sampling rate is presented. The architecture is composed of a 2-order 5-bit sigma-delta modulator and a cascaded 4-stage 12-bit pipelined ADC, and operates at a low 8X oversampling rate. The static and dynamic performances of the whole ADC can be improved by using dynamic element matching technique. The ADC operates at a 4 MHz clock rate and dissipates 300 mW at a 5 V/3 V analog/digital power supply. It is developed in a 0.35μm CMOS process and achieves an SNR of 82 dB. 相似文献

This paper presents the design and implementation of quadrature bandpass sigma-delta modulator.A pole movement method for transforming real sigma-delta modulator to a quadrature one is proposed by detailed study of the relationship of noise-shaping center frequency and integrator pole position in sigma-delta modulator.The proposed modulator uses sampling capacitor sharing switched capacitor integrator,and achieves a very small feedback coefficient by a series capacitor network,and those two techniques can dramatically reduce capacitor area.Quantizer output-dependent dummy capacitor load for reference voltage buffer can compensate signal-dependent noise that is caused by load variation.This paper designs a quadrature bandpass Sigma-Delta modulator for 2.4 GHz low IF receivers that achieve 69 dB SNDR at 1 MHz BW and-1 MHz IF with 48 MHz clock.The chip is fabricated with SMIC 0.18 μm CMOS technology,it achieves a total power current of 2.1 mA,and the chip area is 0.48 mm2. 相似文献

This article presents experimental results of a quadrature bandpass sigma–delta (ΣΔ) modulator based on distributed resonators.
The modulator employs transmission lines and transconductors as main components and does not require switches in the loop
filter as in the case of switched-capacitor (discrete-time) filters. In addition, the proposed complex modulator does not
require a quadrature mixer in the receiver. As main feature, the modulator architecture introduces an innovative way to produce
the I and Q outputs that is immune to path mismatch due to the sharing of all the analog circuitry for both paths. The one-bit second-order
modulator ADC is able to convert IF signals at fs/2 and 3fs/2 (fs = 50 MHz), achieving an ENOB = 10 bits within a 1 MHz signal
bandwidth. Therefore the modulator may be feasible for the typical IF frequencies used in cellular base stations. Furthermore,
it provides an image rejection grater than 70 dB. The 0.35 μm BiCMOS chip consumes 28 mW at 3.3 V supply voltage. 相似文献

This paper presents a sigma-delta (SigmaDelta) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for the extended bandwidth asymmetric digital subscriber line application. The core of the ADC is a cascaded 2-1-1 SigmaDelta modulator that employs a resonator-based topology in the first stage, three tri-level quantizers, and two different pairs of reference voltages. As shown in the experimental result, for a 2.2-MHz signal bandwidth, the ADC achieves a dynamic range of 86 d 15 and a peak signal-to-noise and distortion ratio of 78 dB with an oversampling ratio of 16. It is implemented in a 0.25-mum CMOS technology, in a 2.8 mm2 active area including decimation filter and reference voltage buffers, and dissipates 180 mW from a 2.5-V power supply. 相似文献

This paper deals with a systematic approach to the synthesis of continuous-time cascaded sigma–delta modulators. Based on a system-theoretical model, a detailed derivation of the digital cancelation filters for continuous-time cascaded architectures is presented in order to achieve maximum signal-to-noise ratio together with optimal anti-aliasing performance. By using the same model, an exact equation for the performance loss of any cascaded architecture is derived. The latter is due to the scaling for stability and given relative to an ideal high-pass filter of the overall modulator order. Finally, an analytical calculation of optimal scaling coefficients in between the stages is performed, resulting in a limited search-space for these coefficients. Theoretical results are verified by simulations. 相似文献

The polyphase filter approach to quadrature demodulation is shown to be well suited for the implementation of purpose-designed wide bandwidth digital quadrature demodulators. The duplicated polyphase filter approach is introduced, as a way to increase the maximum allowable input signal bandwidth for a given implementation technology. Other algorithmic and architectural considerations specifically applicable to the realization of digital filters in low-cost Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology are discussed. A design example suitable for processing input signals centered on an intermediate frequency of 160 MHz with a bandwidth of 45 MHz is presented. This design occupies 83% of the Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) in a low-cost Xilinx X4010E-3 FPGA. Additional techniques for further performance optimization are presented. 相似文献

This device translates directly the phase and quadrature baseband signals to a microwave frequency that can be chosen between 700 MHz and 3 GHz avoiding the use of IF circuits. It is able to generate any type of digital modulation as QPSK, n-PSK, n-QAM, GMSK, etc., with band-limited spectrum. The bandwidth of the I/Q modulating signals is more than 500 MHz allowing the use of the circuit even in the highest capacity systems.
