Abstract
An analysis of a continuous-time bandpass sigma–delta modulator in a configuration with an upconverter is given for a RF class D amplifier application. The upconverter multiplies the modulator pulse train with a synchronised clock signal and maps each modulator bit to an integer multiple k of a (+1, −1) or (−1, +1) pattern depending on the sign of the modulator bit. The upconversion is equivalent to an extension of Manchester encoding, which is usually defined for k=1. The analysis focuses on evaluating the impact of upconversion on the modulator coding efficiency and the average pulse period. A design equation is derived, which shows that coding efficiency is dependent only on the upconversion frequency ratio, while the average pulse period depends only on k. The equations provide a designer with a way of evaluating the trade-offs in the amplifier system and show that encoding with k=1 is the most efficient configuration for maximising coding efficiency and minimising switching power loss.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
