Joint Blind Calibration for Mixed Mismatches in Two-Channel Time-Interleaved ADCs

• To further enhance the dynamic performance of time-interleaved analog-to-digital converters (TI-ADCs), both linear and nonlinear mismatches should be estimated and compensated for. This paper introduces a method for joint calibration of several types of linear and nonlinear mismatch errors in two-channel TI-ADCs. To demonstrate the generality of this method, we take different scenarios into account, including static and dynamic mixed mismatch models. The proposed method utilizes a normalized least-mean square (N-LMS) algorithm as well as a certain low degree of oversampling for the overall converter to estimate and compensate for the mixed mismatch errors. The calibration performance and computational complexity are investigated and evaluated through simulations.
