Abstract

See full text

A method and system for data conversion includes an analog noise generator to generate a random, non-deterministic, analog noise signal. An adder adds the analog noise signal to an analog RF signal to produce a dithered analog signal. A first quantizer converts the analog noise signal to digital to produce a digital noise signal. A second quantizer converts the dithered analog signal to a digital equivalent signal. A digital dither adjustment module removes amplitude measurements of the digital noise signal from the digital equivalent signal to obtain a linearized digital representation of the analog RF signal.
