Nyquist Theorem
A band limited signal, x(t), whose Fourier spectrum, X(j), vanishes for
angular frequencies || > s/2 is fully described by a uniform sampling
x(nT ), where T = 2/s. The band limited signal x(t) is reconstructed
by
X
sin(s(t nT )/2)
x(t) =
x(nT )
(4)
s(t nT )/2
Half the sampling frequency, fs /2 = 1/2T , is often named the Nyquist frequency. The
frequency interval 0 fs /2 is referred to as the Nyquist band (or band-base) while frequency intervals, fs /2 fs , fs 3fs /2, are named the second and third Nyquist
zones, and so forth.

Remember!
Something that you need to ...
The anti-aliasing filter protects the information content

of the signal. Use an antialiasing filter in front of every
quantizer to reject unwanted
interferences outside of the

Remember That
Aliasing is an important issue ...
Under-sampling requires an
anti-aliasing filter!
This removes unwanted spurs, which
can occur in the base-band
or be aliased back from any
other Nyquist zones.
The
anti-aliasing filter for undersampled systems is band-pass
around the signal band.

Quantization noise: Properties

Noise power spectrum
The power spectrum is the Laplace transform of the auto-correlation function. For sampled data signals
P(f ) =
R( )ej2f d =
R(nT )ej2f nT
(22)
Assume that the auto correlation function, Re(nT ), goes rapidly to zero for
|n| > 0 or, for simplicity, use Re(0) only.
The auto correlation becomes a delta in the time domain and the Laplace
transform becomes frequency independent.
The power spectral density is white with power PQ = 2/12 spread uniformly over the unilateral Nyquist interval 0 fs/2.

noise voltage. If the sampling
capacitance increases by k

Example
A pipeline data-converter uses a cascade of two sample-and-hold circuits
in its first stage. The clock jitter is 1 psec. Determine the minimum sampling capacitance that enables 12 bit resolution. The full scale voltage is 1
V; the input frequency is 5 MHz.
Solution
The quantization noise power is 2/12. We assume that an extra 50%
noise is acceptable (the system would lose 1.76 dB, 0.29-bit). Thus the
noise budget for KT/C and jitter is

Real signals are never periodic and the N-periodic assumption lead to discontinuity between the last and first samples of successive sequences.

It is suggested to follow some ...
When using FFT or DTF

make sure that the sequence
of samples is N-periodic. Otherwise use windowing.
With sine wave inputs avoid
repetitive patterns in the sequence: the ratio between
the sine wave period and the
sampling period should be a
prime number.

Is windowing avoidable?
? Windowing is essentially an amplitude modulation of the input that produces undesired effects.
? A spike at the beginning or at the end of the sequence is completely masked being
windowed away almost completely
? Windowing gives rise to spectral leakage.
? The SNR measurement can be accurate but an input sine wave does not give a pure
tone.
With input sine waves use coherent sampling for which an integer
number of clock cycles,k, fits into the sampling window. In addition,
k must be a prime number.

What the FFT Represents?

The FFT of an N sample sequence is made by N discrete lines equally spaced in the
frequency interval 0 fs .
Each line gives the power falling within fs /N centered around the line itself.
The FFT operates like a spectrum analyzer with N channels whose bandwidth is fs /N .
If the number of points of the series increases then the channel

bandwidth of the equivalent spectrum analyzer decreases and each
channel will contain less noise power.

Coding Schemes
USB - Unipolar Straight Binary: is the simplest binary scheme. It is
used for unipolar signals. The U SB represents the first quantization
level, Vref + 1/2VLSB with all zeros ( 0000) . As the digital
code increases, the analog input increases by one LSB at a time, and
when the digital code is at the full scale ( 1111) the analog input is
above the last quantization level Vref 1/2VLSB . The quantization
range is Vref + Vref .
CSB - Complementary Straight Binary: the opposite of the USB.
CSB coding is also used for unipolar systems. The digital code ( 0000)
represents the full scale while the code ( 1111) corresponds to the
first quantization level.

BOB - Bipolar Offset Binary: is a scheme suitable for bipolar systems

(where the quantized inputs can be positive and negative). The most
significant bit denotes the sign of the input: 1 for positive signals and 0
for negative signals. Therefore, ( 0000) represents the full negative
scale. The zero crossing occurs at (01 111) and the digital code
(1 1111) gives the full positive scale.
COB - Complementary Offset Binary: this coding scheme is complementary to the BOB scheme. All the bits are complemented and the
meaning remains the same. Therefore, since (01 111) denotes
the zero crossing in the BOB scheme the zero crossing of COB is
becomes (10 000).
BTC - Binary Twos Complement: is one of the most used coding
schemes. The bit in the MSB position indicates the sign in a complemented way: it is 0 for positive inputs and 1 for negative inputs. The

zero crossing occurs at ( 0000)). For positive signals the digital

code increases normally for an increasing analog input. Thus, the
positive full scale is (0 1111). For negative signals, the digital
code is the twos complement of the positive counterpart. This leads
(1 0000) to represent the negative full scale. The BTC coding
system is suitable for microprocessor based systems or for the implementation of mathematical algorithms. It is also the standard for digital
audio.
CTC - Complementary Twos Complement: is the complementary

code of BTC. All the bits are complemented and codes have the same
meaning. The negative full scale is (0 1111); the positive full scale
is (1 0000).

The z-Transform
Is the time-discrete counterpart of the Laplace transform
Z{x(nT )} =
x(nT )z n
(41)
Z{a1 x1(nT )+a2 x2(nT )} = a1 Z{x1(nT )}+a2 Z{x2(nT )} (42)

Moreover, the Z-transform of a delayed signal is
Z{x1(nT kT )} =
x(nT kT )z (nk)z k = X(z)z k

Features
Mapping is good because of the following
A sampled-data system is
stable if all the poles of its
transfer function are inside
the unity circle.
The frequency response of
the system is the z-transfer
function calculated on the
unity circle.

Wrap-up
The background knowledge studied in this first part is essential to properly
understand and design data converters.
We have seen how a data converter performs the transformation from
continuous-time and continuous-amplitude to discrete-time and quantizedamplitude (and vice-versa).
We have studies that data conversion affects the spectrum of the signal
and can sometimes modify its information content. It is therefore important
to know the theoretical implications and to be aware of the limits of the
approximations used for studying a data converter.
We also have studied the mathematical tools used for analysis and characterization of sampled-data systems.
