Using Toeplitz matrices in MATLAB

The definition of Toeplitz matrix from [1] is:
A matrix is said to be Toeplitz if the elements are determined completely by the difference .

2nd order sigma delta modulator

In a previous post, the variance of the in-band quantization noise for a first order sigma delta modulator was derived. Taking it one step furhter, let us find the variance of the quantization noise filtered by a second order filter.
With a first order filter, the quantization noise passes through a system with transfer function [...]

Sigma delta modulation

In an earlier post, it was mentioned that delta modulator without the quantizer is identical to convolving an input sequence with . Let us first try to validate that thought using a small MATLAB example and using the delta modulator circuit shown in Figure 9.13a of DSP-Proakis [1].
% delta modulation
xn = sin(2*pi*1/64*[0:63]);
xhatn = 0;

for [...]
