Continuous-time (CT) complex 61 modulators seriously suffer from delay in real and imaginary feedback paths. The mismatched loop delay results in a degradation of the signal-tonoise ratio. In this paper, analytical considerations of mismatched loop delay in CT complex 61 modulators are presented. Discretetime equivalent transfer functions to that of a CT complex loop filter are derived from continuous-discrete transformation in the complex signal domain. A solution for reducing or compensating the effect of mismatched loop delay is proposed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
