Abstract

See full text

An RF signal generating circuit that generates, from a digital signal, an RF pulse signal to be radio-transmitted. It includes a polar converter generating an amplitude signal and a phase signal from the digital signal; a signal decomposer receiving the amplitude signal as an input signal, and generates two signals, a pulse width control signal and a residual signal; a delta sigma modulator subjecting the residual signal to delta-sigma modulation; a pulse width modulator subjecting the phase signal to pulse modulation in accordance with the pulse width control signal, and outputting a pulse phase signal; and a mixer that mixes a signal output from the delta sigma modulator and the pulse phase signal to output the RF pulse signal. The signal decomposer generates the pulse width control and residual signals if a product of a fundamental wave component of the pulse phase and residual signals equals the amplitude signal.
