Abstract
The method consists of the adding of a dither signal of constant amplitude, frequency-modulated by noise, to the signal applied to the input of the converter. An automatic control link is set up between the level of the added interference signal and the signal applied to the input of the converter so that the level of the input signal added to the level of the added interference signal is equal to the level of the full scale signal of the converter. Application to digital communications radio receivers.
