ABSTRACT:
The present invention implements an architecture that changes the sequence of digital processing so that equalization occurs prior to phase accumulation. A phase differentiator receives an envelope path phase signal to produce a differentiated phase signal to an equalizer. The transfer function of the phase differentiator is implemented so that it cancels, except for a one-cycle delay, the transfer function of the phase accumulator. This cancellation substantially eliminates accumulation of the envelop path phase signal. Additionally, a dither signal added to the quantization nodes in the equalizers shifts the spectral content of the quantization noise such that the phase accumulator sees the quantization noise as zero mean white noise. Implemented as one of a rounding or flooring quantizer, biquad filters in the equalizers round or truncate the equalizer output to a minimal bit width based on a desired output phase error.
