Model Based Dynamic Characterization of Analog-Digital-Converters at Radio Frequency

• A dynamic characterization of analog-digital converter integral nonlinearity (INL) is considered. When using a plurality of test frequencies in the measurement set-up, the dynamic errors of the converter are characterized. The INL is modeled by low and high code components - LCF and HCF, respectively. The LCF and HCF are parameterized and a least squares method is derived for the estimation of the parameter values from obtained measurements. A closed form solution to the estimation problem is derived and its performance is illustrated by a numerical example. The proposed method is believed to be fruitful in wide-band characterization of analog-digital converters at radio frequency, and thus of importance for the evaluation of modem and future wireless communication systems.
