摘要
An enhanced sampling process which can be used to reduce spectral distortion in the output of digital pulse width modulated class D amplifiers is presented. This process arises from a generalisation of the concepts of natural and uniform sampling and can be adjusted such that the spectra produced by the process can take a number of forms for the same signal. Analytical expressions for the spectra produced by the sampling process are derived for both single and double sided modulation. The performance of the process is assessed by case studies on full bandwidth and bass to midrange audio class D amplifiers. It is shown that at carrier frequencies around 88 kHz in a full bandwidth amplifier and 44 kHz in a bass to midrange amplifier the new sampling process will result in significantly lower distortion when compared with either natural or uniform sampling.
