System for controlling the envelope of a periodic waveform using an analogue to digital converter

An analog to digital converter (ADC) includes a comparator, Nx1-bit clocked shift register and a clock which is phase-locked to the input signal. The system according to the invention includes such an ADC, together with processing means. The ADC samples an input waveform and the processing means det...

Zusammenfassung:An analog to digital converter (ADC) includes a comparator, Nx1-bit clocked shift register and a clock which is phase-locked to the input signal. The system according to the invention includes such an ADC, together with processing means. The ADC samples an input waveform and the processing means determines a correction waveform, converts the correction waveform to an analog signal, combines the correction waveform with the input waveform to control its envelope and outputs a combined waveform. The combined waveform is substantially flat.
