1. A polar transmitter system, comprising:

  • a direct synthesis modulator operative to generate an output signal based upon a reference signal, the direct synthesis modulator being responsive to an amplitude modulation control signal and a frequency modulation control signal; and

    a signal alignment module configured to apply the amplitude modulation control signal and the frequency modulation control signal to the direct synthesis modulator in accordance with a defined timing relationship;

    wherein the amplitude modulation control signal and the frequency modulation control signal are based upon an input amplitude modulation signal and an input phase or frequency modulation signal, respectively; and

    wherein the signal alignment module includes a first latch arrangement which latches the input amplitude modulation signal and a second latch arrangement which latches the input phase or frequency modulation signal.
