Abstract
A system and method are provided for controlling a radio frequency (RF) power amplifier. A magnitude input and a phase input are received for transmission of a RF signal by the RF power amplifier. A digital pulse, having a center position relative to an edge of a reference clock based on the phase input and having a width based on the magnitude input, is generated. The digital pulse is filtered with a resonant matching network to produce the RF signal corresponding to the magnitude input and the phase input.
