<p>A data converter system provides an output signal having reduced spurious tones by confining an input signal to a specified frequency band and over-sampling so that the converted input signal "straddles" or "avoids" spurious tones. The spurious tones may then be filtered away, providing an output signal having a much cleaner spurious free dynamic range than a conventional data converter. For example, in one embodiment, an interleaved data converter system converts an input signal that is confined to the second Nyquist zone of one of the interleaved data converters into an interleaved signal, and then filters the interleaved signal with a filter having a pass-band that transmits the converted input frequencies and a stop-band that attenuates the spurious tones. The resulting output signal has a bandwidth that is the same as could be achieved using a single data converter, but is not impaired by interleave images or certain distortion products.</p> |
