System and circuit level design and analysis of a 16-bit sigma-delta ADC for a TETRA-2 network mobile station application

摘要

This paper outlines a comprehensive designevaluation for development of a 16-bit Sigma-Delta (Σ-Δ) Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) for TETRA-2 Network Mobile Station (MS). A step-by-step design approach is described commencing from system-levelevaluation leading to the circuit design, which would serve as a useful reference to designers involved with development of ADCs for wireless equipment.
