Aj. Magrath et Mb. Sandler, RESOLUTION ENHANCEMENT AND DITHER OF SIGMA-DELTA MODULATOR DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG CONVERTERS, Electronics Letters, 31(18), 1995, pp. 1540-1542
A technique is proposed to simultaneously dither and enhance the resol
ution of sigma-delta digital-to-analogue converters. Increased resolut
ion is obtained by modifying the quantisation noise spectrum to give a
highpass response. This has the effect of introducing a DC zero in th
e noise shaping function to achieve greater resolution for a given loo
p order.
