A double-sampling pseudo-two-path bandpass Delta Sigma modulator is propose
d. This modulator has an output rate equal to twice the clock rate, uses n/
2 operational amplifiers (op-amps) for an nth-order noise transfer function
, and has reduced clock feedthrough in the signal path band. The required c
locks can be simpler to implement than the conventional pseudo-two-path tec
hniques. The measured signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range of the fourth
-order double-sampling pseudo-two-path bandpass Delta Sigma modulator in a
30-kHz bandwidth at a center frequency of 2.5 MHz (at a clock frequency of
5 MHz) are 62 and 68 dB, respectively.
