Driving bandpass DSM with tone close to full-scale - stability issue?
I am experimenting with Dr. Schreier's DSM toolbox for MATLAB. I stumbled over a strange phenomenon when having a look at a bandpass DSM in demo-script 2. If I increased the amplitude of the test-tone ...

Smart MEMS microphones
Edit: from Wikipedia's Delta-sigma modulation it looks like since the microphone basically is an ADC, and that as such mics with PDM output may use a Σ‑Δ modulator internally. Also, from Selecting PDM ...

Sigma Delta with counter instead of filter
in most applications the 1-bit output datastream of a sigma-delta ADC is converted via a filter. What's the advantage over counting the ones/zeroes and averaging over the results?
For a simplified ...

SQNR vs SNDR (with regards to Delta Sigma Modulation)
With regard to delta-sigma modulation, I understand that SQNR is the ratio of the signal power within our frequency bandwidth to the noise power within our bandwidth (in-band quantization noise). What ...

Interpreting SQNR from a Graph
I'm pretty confused about SQNR/SNR conceptually. I understand that this is a function of the power of the signal to the power of the noise. Is it not the case that we would be able to derive a value ...

How to implement filter poles in noise shaping for ΔΣ modulator?
I am currently stuck trying to implement filter poles to stabilize a ΔΣ modulator. What I think I know is:
a noise shaping filter with only complex zeros along the unit circle destabilizes a 1 bit ΔΣ ...

What is the difference between the spectra of white Gaussian noise and of a Dirac impulse?
Perhaps it is a basic question, but
can anyone explain the difference between the spectra (or power spectral density) of white Gaussian noise and a Dirac delta?
They are both constant over the whole ...

Remove noise introduced while converting a Delta-Sigma Modulated (DSM) signal into a pulse-code modulated (PCM) signal?
I'm writing a tool that converts a dsdiff audio file (dsd64) into a flac audio file (DSM -> PCM). The project is both a programming exercise and a signal processing exercise; I'm learning a lot ...

Is there any difference in Implementing sigma delta modulator using filters and state space model in FPGA?
Sigma delta modulation is extensively used in quantization to reduce quantization noise.
In the literature one can see different architecture for example python-deltasigma to implement a modulator. ...

Why use a 1-bit ADC in a Sigma Delta Modulator?
When looking at the discrete model of a Sigma-Delta Modulator as shown below, we can see that the quantizer is modelled as a white-noise source $e[n]$. From this model, we can derive the noise shaping ...

Anti-aliasing requirements for a Muxed Sigma-Delta Converter
It seems to be reasonably well accepted that Sigma-Delta ADCs have much looser requirements for the anti-aliasing filter due to both the noise shaping and high modulation frequency.
However, it seems ...
