Abstract:
An electromagnetic wave transmitter system includes a receiver (35) and a transmitter (40). A baseband processor (10) receives a signal transmission and converts the signal into amplitude (f) and phase (e) polar components. Each component is then processed; the phase component (e) is processed through a wideband phase modulator (70), and the amplitude component (f) is processed through a wideband amplitude modulator (60), both processed components are then recombined for further processing or transmission.
Abstract:
A system and method for modulating a phase component of an electromagnetic signal includes a phase/frequency detector (290) having first and second inputs and an output. The first phase/frequency detector input may be configured to receive a reference signal. The system may include an oscillator (270) having an input and an output. The oscillator (270) may be configured to generate a desired oscillator output signal at its output. A divider (260) may be configured to receive the oscillator output signal. The divider (260) may have a divider count input and a divider carryout output that may be connected to the second phase/frequency detector input. A loop filter (250) may be connected in series between the phase/frequency detector output and the oscillator input. The loop filter (250) has a transfer function (414) including at least two frequency response rate change points (412, 422), where each of the frequency rate change points (412, 422) corresponds to a pole or a zero in the transfer function (414).
