Test Results for the CT Sigma-Delta Modulator Yi Zhang Advisor: Prof. Gabor Temes June 6, 2014
Block Diagram • Reference switching ELD compensation [1] • Multi-bit FIR Feedback
Measured Output Spectrum • # of FFT: 65536 • 15 averages
DWA on vs. DWA off • non-linear ISI error • 1.3 dB degraded when DWA on [Karthik, 2014]
Performance Comparison • FoMxx = Power/(2(xx-1.76)/6.02 x 2 BW) FoMSchreier = DR + 10 x log10(BW/P) [2] Mitteregger 06 [3] Dhanasekaran 09 [4] Taylor 10 [5] Shettigar 12 [6] Shu 13
