ABSTRACT:
A signal processor for 1-bit signals comprises a nth order Delta-Sigma Modulator, where n is greater than or equal to 2. The Delta-Sigma Modulator comprises a first input 4A for receiving a first 1-bit signal and a second input 4B for receiving a second 1-bit signal. A quantizer Q quantises a p bit signal to 1-bit form, the requantized signal being the output signal of the processor. A plurality of signal combiners are provided. A first combiner (A1, 61, c1 b1, 71) forms the integral of the sum of the input signals and the output signal multiplied by coefficients A1, B1 and C1. At least one intermediate combiner forms the integral of the sum of the first and second input signals and the output signal multiplied by coefficients A2, B2, C2 together with the output of the first combiner. The final combiner a4, b4, 64 forms the integral of the sum of the first and second signals multiplied by coefficients A4 and B4 together with the output of the preceding intermediate combiner. The coefficients A and B applied to the first and second input signals define the proportions in which the first and second signals are combined. The coefficients A and B maybe variable, generated by a generator 42.
