Method for Compensating Distortion Created by Mismatch Errors in Time-interleaved ADCs Based on Offline Estimation and Online Correction

A improved method is proposed for compensating the distortion created by mismatches in Time-Interleaved Analog-to-Digital Converters (TI ADCs). The error compensation of offset and gain is realized by error parameters, and the error compensation of sampling time is realized by the simplified Lagrange interpolation algorithm. The compensation method is implemented in FPGA with the low complexity of fixed-point algorithm, and the online calibration of multi-channel ADC sampling data is implemented in the TIADC hardware platform. The experimental results show that the proposed method improves the Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) of sampling data up to 51 dB in the simulation environment, and optimizes the SFDR up to 45 dB in the process of hardware implementation. Under the premise of maintaining the error estimation precision and compensation effect, this method not only reduces the computational complexity of the algorithm, but also the compensation structure is not limited by the number of TIADC channels.
