A review on low-complexity structures and algorithms for the correction of mismatch errors in time-interleaved ADCs

Abstract

In this paper we review the progress in the design of low-complexity digital correction structures and algorithms for time-interleaved ADCs over the last five years. We devise a discrete-time model, state the design problem, and finally derive the algorithms and structures. In particular, we discuss efficient algorithms to design time-varying correction filters as well as iterative structures utilizing polynomial based filters. Finally, we give an outlook to future research questions.
