Radio frequency digital to analog converter
Abstract:
A RF digital to analog converter has a first capacitor arrangement, a first common node, and a first controller. The first capacitor arrangement has multiple switchable capacitor paths arranged in parallel. Respective switchable capacitor paths have a switchable element and a capacitor coupled in series. The first common node is connected to the multiple switchable capacitor paths. The first controller receives a baseband signal having an in-phase component and a quadrature component, and a local oscillator (LO) signal having an in-phase LO signal and a quadrature LO signal. The first controller combines the in-phase component and the in-phase LO signal to obtain a first in-phase modulation signal and combines the quadrature component and the quadrature LO signal to obtain a first quadrature modulation signal. The first controller controls the multiple switchable capacitor paths of the first capacitor arrangement with the first in-phase modulation signal and/or the first quadrature modulation signal.
