Abstract:
A transceiver and transmitter are shown. A baseband processor receives a signal for transmission. It converts the signal into amplitude and phase polar components. Each component is then processed - the phase component through a wideband phase modulator and the amplitude component through a wideband amplitude modulator, and the components are then recombined for further processing or transmission.
Abstract:
A transmitter comprises a baseband processor, a wideband phase modulator and an amplitude modulated amplifier. A signal is provided through the baseband processor and is converted into polar coordinates, comprised of amplitude and phase components, with the amplitude component being transmitted to the amplitude modulated amplifier. The amplitude modulated amplifier being comprised of independently controllable current sources, and with the phase component being transmitted to the wideband phase modulator, for modulation upon a carrier wave, and subsequent transmission to the amplitude modulated amplifier for amplification according to control imposed by the amplitude component upon the current sources.

Abstract:
The invention relates to for processing an electromagnetic input signal, wherein the signal is passed through an input to be modified across a plurality of modifying segments (210-216) using a characteristic of the signal, and wherein the plurality of segments (210-216) have a plurality of states controlled by a control signal, by determining a reference impedance for the input for one or more states of the plurality of segments (210-216); and adaptively adjusting impedance of the input toward the reference impedance. This may be accomplished for example, by using a matching circuit (222, 224, 226, 228) comprising one or more selected from the group consisting of a digital signal processor, a microprocessor, a logic circuit, an integrated circuit, a phase shifter (226), a resistor (228), a variable inductor, and a variable capacitor. The matching circuit (222, 224, 226, 228) determines shifts in impedance of the input after a change in state of the segments; and adaptively adjusts the impedance based upon the shift.
