Abstract
In this paper, we consider the stability and various dynamical behaviors of both discrete-time delta modulator (Delta-M) and adaptive Delta-M. The stability constraints and conditions of Delta-M and adaptive Delta-M are derived following the theory of quasi-sliding mode. Furthermore, the periodic behaviors are explored for both the systems with steady-state inputs and certain parameter values. The results derived in this paper are validated using simulated examples which confirms the derived stability conditions and the existence of periodicity.
