The integral nonlinearity of digital-to-analog converters manifests itself as adjacent-channel power in RF transmitters. This paper derives compact equations relating these two quantities and verifies the results by simulations. Both current-steering and switched-mode architectures are analyzed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
