摘要: An embodiment of the invention is a successive requantizer, which serves as replacement for ΔΣ modulator in fractional-N PLL or DAC, and avoids above-mentioned spurious tone problem, thereby circumventing tradeoffs that result from reliance on common approach making highly linear analog circuitry to avoid tones. A requantizer has potential reduce power consumption cost commercial communication devices. performs digital quantization one bit at time such way noise can be engineered have desirable properties non-linearity robustness. The applicable most high-performance systems, cellular telephone handsets wireless local metropolitan area network transceivers.
