Newbie level 1
Hello,
I am trying to implement a behavioral model of a delta modulator in Matlab, consisting of an ideal comparator and a summing unit in the feedback path. Unfortunately the spectrum is not flat as expected and I get peaks at odd harmonics of the signal frequency (cf. attachment).
Does this behavior occur because the quantization noise is not white but correlated or where else does this come from?
Thanks a lot in advance!
