Abstract
A transceiver and transmitter are shown. A baseband processor receives a signal for transmission. It converts the signal into amplitude and phase polar components. Each component is then processed—the phase component through a wideband phase modulator and the amplitude component through a wideband amplitude modulator, and the components are then recombined for further processing or transmission.
