Abstract
A communication transmitter apparatus includes a reference clock generator, a harmonic signal generator, and a modulator. The reference clock generator provides a reference clock signal that has a prescribed frequency. The harmonic signal generator provides one or more harmonic signals of the reference clock signal. The modulator modulates the one or more harmonic signals with an input signal to generate an output signal. A corresponding communication receiver apparatus receives the output signal of the communication transmitter apparatus.

A communication transmitter apparatus, comprising:
- a reference clock generator, the reference clock generator configured to provide a reference clock signal having a prescribed frequency;
- a harmonic signal generator, the harmonic signal generator configured to provide one or more harmonic signals of the reference clock signal;
- and
- a modulator, the modulator configured to modulate the one or more harmonic signals with an input signal.
A communication receiver apparatus, comprising:
- a reference clock generator, the reference clock generator configured to provide a reference clock signal having a prescribed frequency;
- a harmonic signal generator, the harmonic signal generator configured to provide one or more harmonic signals of the reference clock signal;
- and
- a demodulator, the demodulator configured to use a signal derived from the one or more harmonic signals to demodulate an input signal of the communication receiver apparatus.
A method of generating a transmission signal, comprising:
- generating a reference clock signal, the reference clock signal having a prescribed frequency;
- generating one or more harmonic signals of the reference clock signal;
- and
- modulating the one or more harmonic signals with an input signal to generate the transmission signal.
A method of receiving a communication signal, comprising:
- generating a reference clock signal, the reference clock signal having a prescribed frequency;
- generating one or more harmonic signals of the reference clock signal;
- and
- demodulating the communication signal by using a signal derived from the one or more harmonic signals to generate an output signal.
