This paper presents a digital amplitude modulator for a polar transmitter. The instantaneous output power is modulated by adjusting the amplifier's load through a digitally controlled impedance transformation network. The modulator is suited for modulation schemes with moderate peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), such as π/4 DQPSK The modulator may also be used for fine gain control in constant envelope modulation schemes. A class E amplifier with digital impedance amplitude modulation is… CONTINUE READING
