Abstract

This paper presents and analyzes a new dynamic element matching technique for low-harmonic distortion digital-to-analog conversion. The benefit of this technique over the prior art is a significantly reduced hardware complexity with no reduction in performance. It is particularly appropriate for applications such as direct digital synthesis (DDS) in wireless communications systems, where low hardware complexity and low harmonic distortion are essential
