An apparatus for a signal processor for Wide-Band Applications is provided. The signal processor includes a plurality of parallel branches. Each parallel branch includes a frequency shifter, a sigma-delta-modulator, and a filter. The output signal of each branch is combined via a signal recombiner. The signal processor is suitable for wide-band applications due to centering the zeros of the sigma-delta-modulator's noise transfer function and filter's noise transfer function at the frequency of the frequency shifter in the same branch of the signal processor. Centering these zeros at the frequency of the frequency shifter shapes the quantization noise added by the sigma-delta-modulator away from the input signal frequency to make it easier to remove the quantization noise. This wideband performance is also achieved due to the design of the embodiment's filters. The embodiments of this invention use filters with symmetric transition bands and a pass-band that is wide enough for use in wireless applications.

Apparatus and methods are taught for dividing a signal to be processed by a Noise Shaping (Hereafter NS) loop into smaller sections, and applying NS to at least a subset of these smaller sections. The processed signals are then recombined. As noise shaping is performed on smaller sections, the operating speed of each noise shaping loop, and accordingly for the system in general, is faster than if the output signal had been generated by single higher bit NS loop. Embodiments further include a configuration block for configuring the apparatus. For example, the number of sections, the section calculation method, and the NS for each section can each be configurable, and for some embodiments, programmable.
