Abstract:
Communications systems, and particularly portable personal communications systems, such as portable phones, are becoming increasingly digital. One area that has remained largely analog, however, is the modulation and RF amplifier circuits. To produce a RF frequency waveform. An output of a class D amplifier is coupled to an integrator to create an analog signal. A resonant circuit shapes an output waveform based on the analog signal to create a sinusoidal RF broadcast signal. The waveform of the class D amplifier may be duty cycle modulated. Digital modulation may occur using a digital sigma delta modulator or a digital programmable divide modulator. Using the digital modulation techniques and class D amplification techniques together allows for broadcast a PSK signal that has been decomposed into amplitude and phase components.
