Performance analysis in chaotic-iteration-based ADCs

Chaos is an inherent property in the cyclic A/D conversion process. The principle has been extended to construct 'general cyclic ADCs' based on chaotic iterations. The new attributes of the converters are also discussed. The analytic expressions of random error and system error in general cyclic ADCs are established and verified by simulations. With the same level of additive white noise, the optimal maps have been derived.
