摘要

This paper presents the design of a fourth-order continuous-time bandpass Delta Sigma AD modulator for RE sampling It employs subsampling. RE DAC, as well as digital techniques to compensate for finite Q and excess loop delay, and its loop filter uses inverter-type OTAs: these basic techniques have been described in our previous papers This paper validates a transistor-level circuit design of a complete fourth-order modulator that combines all of the above techniques, and its SPICE simulation results are as follows the center of the signal band is 2.4 GHz, the sampling frequency is 3.2 GHz, the signal bandwidth is 2 MHz, the peak SNDR is 56 dB, the power consumption from a 1 8-V supply voltage is 50 mW, and it uses TSMC 0 18-mu m CMOS process.
