Abstract
A delta-sigma modulator capable of outputting an output signal including a plurality of signals having different frequencies. The delta-sigma modulator includes: a plurality of input ports to which a plurality of input signals having different frequencies are inputted, respectively; a plurality of loop filters provided corresponding to the plurality of input ports, respectively; an adder configured to add outputs of the plurality of loop filters; and a quantizer configured to quantize an output of the adder. The plurality of loop filters each receive the input signal inputted to the corresponding input port and a feedback signal of an output of the quantizer. The plurality of loop filters each have a characteristic of stopping noise in the vicinity of a frequency of the input signal inputted to the corresponding input port.
