Oversampling A/D Converters with Improved Signal Transfer Functions

This thesis proposes a low-IF receiver architecture suitable for the realization of single-chip receivers. To alleviate the image-rejection requirements of the front-end filters an oversampling complex discrete-time ΔΣ ADC with a signal-transfer function that achieves a significant filtering of interfering signals is proposed. A filtering ADC reduces the complexity
of the receiver by minimizing the requirements of analog filters in the IF digitization
path. Discrete-time ΔΣ ADCs have precise resonant frequency and clock frequency ratios and, hence, do not require the calibration or tuning that is necessary in the case of continuous-time ΔΣ modulator implementations. This feature makes the proposed discrete-
time ΔΣ ADC ideal for multistandard receiver applications.
