Phase and amplitude digital modulation circuit and method
First Claim
1. A method for modulating a carrier signal (Se) with a digital modulation signal (SCj), implemented by a modulator circuit (1) comprising at least one modulation cell (CMi) intended to receive two digital control signals (SCji1, SCji2) representing at least a part of the digital modulation signal (SCj), wherein, for at least one value of the digital modulation signal (SCj), two digital control signals (SCji1, SCji2) of equal value are applied to at least one given modulation cell (CMi).

Abstract
The invention concerns a method and a circuit for modulating a carrier signal (Se) with a signal (SCj) comprising at least a modulation cell (CMi) by phase shift for receiving two digital control signals (Scji, SCji2) representing at least part of the digital modulation signal (SCj). For at least a value of the digital modulation signal (SCj), the method consists in applying on at least a common modulation cell (CMi), two digital control signals (SCji1, SCji2) of identical value, said modulation cell (CMi) deliver a signal, called modulated elementary signal (Ssi), which is null for said digital modulation signal value (SCj).
