Abstract:  To get higher accuracy of prolate spheroidal wave function (PSWF) pulse generator and reduce quantization bits, quantization error in the traditional PSWF generator based on direct digital waveform synthesis (DDWS) is analyzed. The main factors that affect quantization accuracy are listed. A design method for
PSWF pulse generator based on difference quantitation is proposed. The method uses difference quantitation rather than direct quantization and modifies the DAC module. Theoretical analysis and simulation show that,as the over sampling rate (OSR) is greater than p, difference quantitation can improve the noise spectrum.When OSR is doubled, the noise spectrum is improved by 6 dB, as compared to 3 dB of direct quantitation.The difference quantitation method has higher quantitation accuracy with the same or even less number of quantitation bits. Therefore, PSWF pulse generator based on the difference quantitation is more suitable for high-precision PSWF signal generation with high sampling rate.

Key words: direct digital waveform synthesis (DDWS), prolate spheroidal wave function (PSWF), pulse generator, quantitation error, difference quantitation
