US Patent 10566994 System and methods for virtualizing delta sigma digitization

A method for virtually performing delta-sigma digitization is provided. The method is performed on a series of digital samples output from a communication stack of a communication network. The method includes steps of obtaining a delta-sigma digitization sampling frequency for the output series of digital samples, calculating an oversampling ratio for the output series of digital samples, interpolating the output series of digital samples at a rate equivalent to the oversampling ratio, and quantizing the interpolated series of digital samples to plurality of discrete predetermined levels.
