  • Abstract
    Analytic limitations on the noise transfer function of sigma-delta modulators are derived. The noise transfer function magnitude in decibels integrated against frequency sums to at least zero. An excess delay of one sample in the modulator feedback loop is found to be detrimental for lowpass modulators.
