All digital outphasing transmitter

Abstract

An all digital outphasing transmitter includes, at least one decomposition unit for decomposing an input signal to generate a first sub-signal and a second sub-signal; at least one outphasing signal generator to convert said first sub-signal to an outphasing signal; at least one delta sigma modulator to convert said second sub-signal to a delta sigma modulated signal; at least one mixing unit for mixing the outphasing signal and delta sigma modulated signal to generate a first and second mixed signal; at least one first amplifier for amplifying the first mixed signal; at least one second amplifier for amplifying the second mixed signal; at least one combiner for combining the first and second amplified mixed signals to generate a delta sigma modulated output signal and at least one band pass filter for filtering the delta sigma modulated output signal to recover the input signal envelope back on to the output signal.
