description <p>In this research, a 16-bit multi-mode second-order Delta-Sigma Modulator-Digital-to-Analog Converter (DSM-DAC) with a time-interleaved (TI) structure operating at a center frequency of 4 GHz and a bandwidth of 20 MHz has been implemented using VHDL on an FPGA platform. The proposed architecture utilizes a single clock frequency for generating RF signals. The second-order DSM is reconfigurable, offering three filter modes: LP, BP at Fs/4, and HP for signal synthesis. Since the coefficients remain simple for all modes, multiplication operations can be achieved using a shifter block. To investigate the effect of duty-cycle-error (DCE) and its compensation, various error values are applied to the modulator and compensation is performed. A novel solution is proposed to overcome the DCE by adjusting the filter and unilaterally narrowing the signal passband without adding extra hardware complexity. This approach significantly enhances the SNDR and SFDR of the DSM output, even for the BP mode. Another challenge is the mismatch error in DAC cells. This error is simulated and compensated using two methods: DWA and SDEM. Simulation results in ISE demonstrate that the SNDR values for LP, BP, and HP modes are 106.10, 105.65, and 104.95 dB, respectively.</p>
