Abstract
A circuit arrangement and method for direct digital synthesis (DDS). In various embodiments, the invention feeds forward the phase error introduced by a quantizer in a DDS system. The error is fed forward to adjust the sine and cosine values that are obtained based on output from the quantizer. Correction of the sine and cosine values based on the fed-forward error values results in a significant reduction in the effect of spectral artifacts.
