 ## Oversampling {#oversampling}
 
 
+## Sigma Delta ADC {#sigma-delta-adc}
+
+From (<a href="#citeproc_bib_item_3">Schmidt, Schitter, and Rankers 2020</a>):
+
+> The low cost and excellent linearity properties of the Sigma-Delta ADC have replaced other ADC types in many measurement and registration systems, especially where storage of data is more important than real-time measurement.
+> This has typically been the case in audio recording and reproduction.
+> The reason why this principle is less applied with real-time measurements is the time delay between the bitstream representing the actual value and the availability of the corresponding value after the decimation filter.
+> The resulting **latency** amounts with a low cost sigma-delta ADC approximately **twenty times the sampling period of the decimated digital output**.
+
+Therefore, even though there are sigma-delta ADC with high precision and sampling rate, they add large latency (i.e. time delay) that are very problematic for feedback systems.
+
+> The SAR-ADC (Successive approximation ADCs) is still the mostly applied type for data-acquisition and feedback systems because of its single sample latency.

+
+```matlab

+
+The idea behind "Extremum Seeking Control" is to use a controlled signal \\(u\\) to explore the relation \\(y(u)\\), estimate its gradient and find its minimum or maximum.
+This relation should be convex or concave for the architecture to work properly.
+
+See (<a href="#citeproc_bib_item_1">Tan et al. 2010</a>) for a good overview.

+## Tuning of the Extremum Seeking Control {#tuning-of-the-extremum-seeking-control}
+
+The \\(y(u)\\) relationship should be static compared to \\(\omega\_p\\) the frequency of the sinusoidal excitation.
+
+When this architecture is to be applied the following two signals have to be properly chosen:
+
+-   what is the controlled signal \\(u\\)
+-   what is the measured signal to be minimized \\(y\\)
+
+Then, the following parameters should be tuned:
+
+-   \\(\omega\_p\\): the frequency of the perturbation, that should be small compared to the system dynamics
+-   \\(A\_p\\): amplitude of the sinusoidal perturbation, that should be small compared to the allowed deviation from the minimum
+-   \\(\omega\_H\\) and \\(\omega\_L\\): cut-off frequency of the high pass and low pass filters. As \\(\omega\_p\\) should be in the pass band of both filters, \\(\omega\_H\\) and \\(\omega\_L\\) should be chosen such that:
+    \\[ \omega\_H \ll \omega\_p \quad \text{and} \quad \omega\_L \gg \omega\_p \\]
+-   \\(K\_I\\): gain for the integrator that should be tuned such that the control loop is stable and converges to the minimum as fast as wanted.
+
+There are three time scales present in this control algorithm:
+
+-   Fast time scale that corresponds to the system variations (\\(y(u)\\) relationship)
+-   Medium time scale that corresponds to the perturbations on \\(u\\) (frequency \\(\omega\_p\\))
+-   Slow time scale that corresponds to the variations of \\(\bar{u}\\)

+## Phase induced by a time delay {#phase-induced-by-a-time-delay}
+
+Having some time delay can be modelled by a transfer function having constant amplitude but a phase lag increasing with frequency.
+Such phase lag is linearly proportional to the time delay and to the frequency:
+
+\begin{equation}
+\phi(\omega) = -\omega \cdot T\_s
+\end{equation}
+
+with:
+
+-   \\(\phi(\omega)\\) the phase lag in rad
+-   \\(\omega\\) the frequency in rad/s
+-   \\(T\_s\\) the time delay in s
+
+
+## Estimation of phase delay induced in sampled systems {#estimation-of-phase-delay-induced-in-sampled-systems}
+
+Consider a feedback controller implemented numerically on a system with a sampling frequency \\(F\_s\\).
+
+The time delay associated with the limited sampling frequency \\(F\_s\\) is:
+
+\begin{equation}
+\phi(\omega) = -\frac{\omega}{F\_s}
+\end{equation}
+
+with:
+
+-   \\(\phi(\omega)\\) the phase lag in rad
+-   \\(\omega\\) the frequency in rad/s
+-   \\(F\_s\\) the sampling frequency in Hz
+
+Some values are summarized in Table [1](#table--tab:time-delay-phase-lag).
+
+<a id="table--tab:time-delay-phase-lag"></a>
+<div class="table-caption">
+  <span class="table-number"><a href="#table--tab:time-delay-phase-lag">Table 1</a>:</span>
+  Phase lag as a function of the frequency (relative to the sampling frequency )
+</div>
+
+| Frequency      | Phase Delay [deg] |
+|----------------|-------------------|
+| \\(F\_s/100\\) | -3.6              |

+| \\(F\_s/2\\)   | -180.0            |
+
+This is the main reason to have a sampling frequency much higher than the wanted feedback bandwidth is to limit the phase delay at the crossover frequency induced by the time delay.
+Having a sampling frequency a 100 times larger than the crossover frequency is a good objective.
+
+<div class="exampl">
+
+Take the example of a controller implemented with a sampling time of 0.1ms (10kHz sampling frequency).
