Components for oversampled signal processors

Abstract

Oversampled converters trade transmission bandwidth for resolution. An idealized model gives an insight into the way in which signals are encoded and thus how they can be manipulated. Oversampling offers a form of signal processing that requires simple processing elements capable of exploiting the growing clock speeds available in integrated solutions. Simultaneously avoids the need for analog circuitry. This paper reviews common operations that can be performed on oversampled signals
