ABSTRACT:
An analog-to-digital converter is described for converting an analog-signal into a sequence of (b+a)-bit code words by means of a b-bit auxiliary analog-to-digital converter. To reduce the quantizing noise resulting from the requisite quantizing of the analog signal samples this analog signal is applied to an integrating network whose output is connected to an amplitude-limiting device which brings the integrated signal within the signal range of the auxiliary analog-to-digital converter, which in its turn produces a sequence of b-bit code words which are applied to a digital output filter via a cascade arrangement of an amplitude-restoration device and a difference network.
Sampling pulses which occur at a frequency exceeding the Nyquist sampling frequency associated with the analog signal are applied to the auxiliary analog-to-digital converter.
