A novel and useful fast hopping frequency synthesizer and transmitter associated therewith. The frequency synthesizer and transmitter incorporates a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) adapted to operate open loop. Instantaneous frequency switching is achieved by changing an oscillator tuning word (OTW) to imitate the three oscillators of a UWB transmitter. In one embodiment, the DCO can change the frequency instantaneously within the 1/f T of the varactor devices used to construct the DCO. An all digital phase lock loop (ADPLL) is used for offline calibration prior to the start of packet transmission or reception. Any phase shift during the switching is tracked by a digital circuit in the transmitter. In a second embodiment, additional frequency accuracy is provided by use of a numerically controlled oscillator (NCO) that functions to generate a fine resolution complex exponential waveform which effectively shifts the synthesized frequency. A mixer applies the waveform to the I and Q data samples prior to conversion to the digital domain.

A quadrature modulation error is compensated without providing an additional feedback loop for detecting the quadrature modulation error. An amplifier circuit includes: a quadrature modulator 33; an amplifier 2 that amplifies a quadrature-modulated signal; a distortion compensation section 4 that compensates distortion to be caused in the amplifier based on first compensation coefficients; a quadrature modulation error compensation section 9 that compensates for a quadrature modulation error; an updating section 10b that updates second compensation coefficients for compensating the quadrature modulation error; an error estimation section 10a that estimates an error of the quadrature modulation error; and a prediction section that calculates a prediction value of an output of the amplifier after updating of the second compensation coefficients. The second compensation coefficients are updated based on the estimated error. The prediction value is calculated based on the estimated error and the amplifier output. The distortion compensation section 4 calculates the first compensation coefficient, based on the prediction value.

A digital signal processor generates in-phase, quadrature-phase and amplitude signals from a baseband signal. A modulator modulates the in-phase and quadrature-phase signals to produce a modulated signal. A phase locked loop is responsive to the modulated signal. The phase locked loop includes a controlled oscillator having a controlled oscillator input. An amplifier includes a signal input, amplitude control input and an output. The signal input is responsive to the controlled oscillator output and the amplitude control input is responsive to the amplitude signal. The phase locked loop that is responsive to the modulated signal includes a controlled oscillator output and a feedback loop between the controlled oscillator input and the controlled oscillator output. The feedback loop includes a mixer that is responsive to a local oscillator. The modulator may be placed in the phase locked loop. In particular, the modulator may be placed in the feedback loop between the controlled oscillator output and the mixer, between the local oscillator and the mixer, or between the mixer and the controlled oscillator input.

In order to produce a broadband-frequency-modulated output signal s (S3), the carrier frequency (fc) of which can be adjusted in a wide frequency range, a frequency-modulated signal (S1) is produced at any desired fixed carrier frequency (fo), is then converted to IQ signals (Si2,Sq2), and the IQ signals produced in this way are then combined with the desired carrier frequency (fc) by IQ modulation to form the frequency-modulated output signal. IQ signals that are produced are preferably low-pass-filtered before IQ modulation.
