A Time-Delay Jitter-Insensitive Continuous-Time Bandpass Delta Sigma Modulator Architecture

In this paper, we present a new continuous-time bandpass delta-sigma (Delta Sigma) modulator architecture with mixer inside the feedback loop. The proposed bandpass Delta Sigma modulator is insensitive to time-delay jitter in the digital-to-analog conversion feedback pulse, unlike conventional continuous-time bandpass Delta Sigma modulators. The sampling frequency of the proposed Delta Sigma modulator can be less than the center frequency of the input narrow-band signal.
