On error-spectrum shaping in state-space digital filters

A new scheme for shaping the error spectrum in state-space digital filter structures is proposed. The scheme is based on the application of diagonal second-order error feedback, and can be used in any arbitrary state-space structure having arbitrary order. A method to obtain noise-optimal state-space structures for fixed error feedback coefficients, starting from noise optimal structures in absence of error feedback (the Mullis and Roberts Structures), is also outlined. This optimization is based on the theory of continuous equivalence for state-space structures

A modified low roundoff digital oscillator design

The work of this thesis is to summarize and compares the existing digital oscillator design methods and combine them to form a modified structure for oscillator design. First of all, a combined structure of complex oscillator design is proposed. The structure combines the advantages of low hardware complexity and low roundoff errors. Then based on the suggested complex oscillator structure, some new digital oscillator structures with uniform frequency spacing are suggested. The new structures are also the modified structure of the existing oscillator. By adding power-of-two shift boxes into the modified structure, dynamic range of the output is enlarged and the quantization errors are greatly reduced. The modified oscillators can generate low frequency and low amplitude sinusoid waves with very small phase and amplitude deviation. In order to further reduce the quantization errors, error feedback circuits is applied into the circuit to further reduce the errors
