Patent number: 11909411Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein may reduce or even eliminate spurs introduced into the signals during analog to digital or digital to analog conversions. The spurs may be introduced by components such as clocks of the converter circuits. In an analog to digital conversion, the input signal may be split into two parts: the first portion passing through a first analog to digital converter (ADC) and an inverted second portion passing through a second ADC. A digital subtractor may subtract the output of the second ADC from the output of the first ADC converter thereby reducing the spurs. In digital to analog conversion, a digital input is passed through a first digital to analog converter (DAC) and an inverted digital input is passed through a second DAC. The output of the second DAC is inverted and combined with the output of the first DAC to reduce the spurs.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2021Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Viavi Solutions Inc.Inventor: Michel Lecompte
