A time-interleaved multichannel analog-to-digital converter (ADC) achieves high sampling rates with the drawback of additional distortions caused by channel mismatches. In this paper, we consider the dependency of the signal-to-noise-and-distortion ratio (SINAD) on the combination of several different channel mismatch effects. By using either explicitly given mismatch parameters or given parameter distributions, we derive closed-form equations for calculating the explicit or the expected SINAD…

Analysis and Correction of Combined Channel Mismatch Effects in Frequency-Interleaved ADCs
TLDR
An integrated channel mismatch compensation scheme is proposed that contrasts existing signal recovery approaches which calibrate specific types of errors separately and is compared with conventional solutions using extensive simulations.

TLDR
The result of this paper has provided a theoretical basis for eliminating TIADC channel mismatch error and derived the formula of signal to noise and distortion ratio (SINAD) and spurious free dynamic range (SFDR).
Methodology for Minimizing Timing Mismatch in Time-Interleaved ADCs
TLDR
The systems signal-to-noise and distortion ratio (SINAD) and spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) are increased by controlling the selection order of the channels ADCs in combination with oversampling and consecutive filtering.
Effect of Offset Mismatch in Time-Interleaved ADC Circuits on OFDM-BER Performance
TLDR
This paper analyzes the effect of the offset mismatch in time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter (TI-ADC) circuits on bit error rate (BER) performance of a receiver for pulse amplitude-modulated or quadrature amplitude- modulated signals in orthogonal frequency division multiplexed systems and shows that the tolerable level of theoffset mismatch is proportional to the square-root of the number of sub-ADCs.
Spectral shaping of timing mismatches in time-interleaved analog-to-digital converters
TLDR
A simple channel sorting algorithm is presented, which significantly improves the signal-to-noise and distortion ratio (SINAD) and the spurious free dynamic range (SFDR) by applying a simple low-pass filter.

TLDR
Simulation results present the performance degradation that can be expected by the usage of non-ideal analog-to-digital converters (ADC) sampling alternately the inphase and quadrature signals in a direct conversion receiver architecture when random data is processed.

Channel linearity mismatch effects in time-interleaved ADC systems
TLDR
This paper investigates the channel linearity mismatch effects in the time-interleaved ADC system, which are practically very important but have not been investigated yet, and considers two cases: differential nonlinearity mismatch and integral non Linearity mismatch cases.
Analysis of mismatch effects among A/D converters in a time-interleaved waveform digitizer
High-speed A/D conversion can be achieved by employing a parallel array of M A/D converters interleaved in time, each working at 1/Mth of the sampling rate. Theoretically, the resolution of the…

TLDR
This paper presents the mathematical background describing the effect of randomizing the samples among the interleaved ADCs and a digitally oriented method, based on this analysis, to randomize the mismatches among the ADC channels and shows the effectiveness of the proposed approach in multi-channel ADCs with arbitrary bit resolution and sampling rate.

TLDR
Simulations of the time-interleaved A/D converter show that the method estimates the errors with high accuracy, and the estimation algorithm works without any special calibration signal, instead the normal input signal is used.
