Abstract

In this paper, we present a flexible and scalable structure to compensate frequency response mismatches in time-interleaved analog-to-digital converters (TI-ADCs). The flexibility of the structure allows for designing compensation filters independent of the number of channels that can achieve any desired signal-to-noise ratio due to the scalability of the structure. Therefore, the compensation structure may be used to compensate time-varying frequency response mismatches in TI-ADCs, as well as to reconstruct uniform samples from nonuniformly sampled signals. We analyze the compensation structure, investigate its performance, and demonstrate application areas of the structure through numerous examples.
