A time-delay jitter-insensitive continuous-time bandpass /spl Delta//spl Sigma/ modulator architecture

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