Title: Design of Comb-Based Decimators for Sigma Delta Analog Digital Converters
Abstract: 
In oversampled Sigma Delta Analog Digital converters the signal is sampled by a rate which is much higher than Nyquist rate. However, at the output of the modulator, this rate should be decreased to a Nyquist rate. This process is called decimation. The process of decimation introduces aliasing which must be eliminated by a filter called antialiasing filter. The most simple antialiasing filter is comb filter which has all coefficients equal unity and consequently does not need multipliers for its implementation. There are two principal comb structures: recursive and no recursive. The recursive structure is an area efficient structure, while the no recursive structure is a power efficient structure. However, the magnitude characteristic of comb filter does not provide enough alias attenuations and additionally it has a droop in the passband which may deteriorate the decimated signal. Different methods have been proposed to improve comb aliasing rejection and decrease passband droop. We will present some the most popular methods to improve comb filter magnitude characteristic.
