Abstract

This paper describes a method of digitizing a wide-band signal by performing subband decomposition via a bank of tuned bandpass sigma-delta modulators. Each modulator only converts a portion of the signal spectrum, increasing the effective oversampling ratio for the wide-band signal by the number of parallel modulators. A prototype bandpass ΣΔ modulator with a programmable noise null was fabricated in a 2 μm CMOS process and used to construct a four channel parallel A/D conversion system
