A fully differential double-sampled switchedcapacitor (SC) architecture for a fourth-order bandpass 61 modulator is presented. This architecture is based on a doublesampled SC delay circuit. The effect of opamp nonidealities (finite dc gain and nonzero input capacitance) on the notch frequency of this modulator is analyzed. The modulator is implemented in a 0.5-m CMOS technology and operates at a clock frequency of 80 MHz, making the effective sampling rate 160 MHz. The image signal is about 40 dB below the fundamental signal. The measured signal-to-noise-plus-distortion (SNDR) is 47 dB (not including the image) over a 1.25-MHz bandwidth centered at 40 MHz. The circuit operates at 3 V and consumes 65 mW.
