<p>A method, arrangement, and system enable adaptive calibration of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) from reference signals with unknown parameter(s) that may vary (e.g., a varying frequency). An analog reference signal s(t) is supplied to an ADC to be calibrated. The output x(n) of the ADC is used by a, e.g., sine-wave reconstruction filter to reconstruct as estimate &scirc(n) of the sampled instances of the signal s(t). A recursive frequency estimator within the sine-wave reconstruction filter produces a frequency estimate of the analog reference signal s(t) from the signal x(n). An adaptive reconstruction filter uses this frequency estimate and the signal x(n) to produce the estimate &scirc(n). When a convergence detector determines that the adaptive reconstruction filter has converged, the estimate &scirc(n) is used to alter values that are stored in a correction table. During functional operation of the ADC, the correction table is used to correct the output values of the ADC.</p> |
