Abstract
To solve spectral aliasing of digital pulse width modulation (PWM) signal during digital up-conversion, a novel all-digital transmitter architecture using three-level quadrature differential RF-PWM is presented. By using triangle wave with 90° phase shift as the reference signal of quadrature differential PWM, the pulse coding of complex modulation signal and digital up-conversion will be realized. The feasibility of the transmitter is demonstrated by deriving the output formula of 3-level quadrature differential PWM, the design requirement is also given. Simulation and experiment results with QPSK and 16QAM signals show that the proposed scheme can significantly suppress the transmitter in-band noise, eliminate even harmonics, and effectively reduce the system operating frequency.
