Abstract:
Methods and systems for generating a digital representation of the amplitude and phase of a bandpass signal are disclosed. The methods comprise filtering the bandpass signal with a bandpass filter, generating the real and imaginary parts of the complex analytic signal with a quadrature hybrid, determining the amplitude of the complex analytic signal by adding an even power-law transform of the real and imaginary parts of the complex analytic signal, and determining the phase of the complex analytic signal by comparing the real and imaginary parts of the complex analytic signal to zero and comparing an even power-law transform of the real and imaginary parts of the complex analytic signal to each other. Analog to digital converters and methods of converting complex analytic signals to digital signals are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 27):
An analog to digital converter (ADC), acting on a bandpass signal and its Hilbert transform, comprising:\n a first power-law device adapted to apply an even non-linear transform on the input bandpass signal; a second power-law device adapted to apply an even non-linear transform on the input Hilbert transform signal; an amplitude generator adapted to determine a signal amplitude of an analytic representation of the input signal by adding the outputs of said power-law devices, wherein the real and imaginary parts of an analytic representation of said bandpass signal is an analytic signal; a quantizer adapted to convert the output of said amplitude generator into a digital amplitude signal; an encoder adapted to reduce the number of bit signals used to represent the digital amplitude signal; and a bank of comparators adapted to generate a digital signal phase of the analytic signal by comparing the both input bandpass signal and its Hilbert transform to zero, and comparing the outputs of said power-law devices to each other.
