This paper analyses the use of hybrid continuous-time/discrete-time cascade ΣΔ modulators for the implementation of power-efficient analog-to-digital converters in broadband wireless communication systems. Two alternative implementations of multi-rate cascade architectures are studied and compared with conventional single-rate continuous-time...

This paper presents a new two-stage cascade ΣΔ modula- tor architecture that uses inter-stage resonation to increase its effec- tive resolution as compared to conventional cascades and avoids the need for digital filtering in the error cancellation logic. The combi- nation of these two strategies, together with the use of unity signal transfer...
