Quadratic spline interpolator

Abstract
A simple system is proposed which generates a quadratic spline function interpolating a given discrete-time signal. It works as a D-A converter which is free from phase distortions and whose output is smooth. The output is constructed as two-fold integration of a staircase signal. A kind of sampled data feedback is employed to stabilize the system. Its circuit is mainly composed of a pair of D-A and A-D converter chips and two analogue integrators. This hardware complexity is about a quarter of current systems.
