Modulator and modulation method

Abstract

The present technology relates to a modulator and a modulation method for enabling provision of a highly convenient modulator. The modulator is configured to be input a first signal corresponding to one of a positive signal and a negative signal constituting a baseband signal of a differential signal, and a second signal having the same level as the first signal in one of an H level section in which the one signal is at an H level and an L level section in which the one signal is at an L level, and configured to generate a modulation signal obtained by modulating a carrier with the first and second signals to generate a modulation signal that is the amplitude shift keying (ASK)-modulated carrier with the baseband signal. The present technology can be applied to a case of modulating a carrier according to a baseband signal, for example.
