Abstract
A method of converting an input analog signal to a compensated digital signal comprises converting the input analog signal to an uncompensated digital signal, inputting the uncompensated digital signal to a distortion model, generating a modeled distortion signal based on the uncompensated digital signal, and subtracting the modeled distortion signal from the uncompensated digital signal to generate the compensated digital signal. A distortion compensating analog to digital converter (ADC) comprises an uncompensated ADC configured to convert an input analog signal to an uncompensated digital signal, and a compensation module coupled to the uncompensated ADC, configured to receive the uncompensated digital signal, generate a modeled distortion signal based on the uncompensated digital signal and subtract the modeled distortion signal from the uncompensated digital signal to generate the compensated digital signal.
