ABSTRACT:
A method for generating an analog signal based on samples representing the analog signal includes feeding the samples into a delta-sigma modulator, the delta-sigma modulator outputting a sequence of bits, and introducing a non-linear time-discrete function into a feedback loop between a quantizer element and a delta element of the delta-sigma modulator, where arguments of the non-linear time-discrete function include a current bit and at least one bit previous to the current bit.
