1. A method of testing a polar transmitter, the method comprising:
- providing at least one square wave waveform as test stimuli;
coupling each square wave signal to a frequency modulating input of the polar transmitter; and
analyzing an output of the polar transmitter by observing an amplitude and a frequency of demodulated components corresponding to each square wave signal, wherein a fundamental frequency of each square wave signal is approximately equal to one frequency of a predetermined multitone signal.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for testing a polar transmitter uses at least one square wave waveform as test stimuli replacing a multitone waveform. Each square wave signal is coupled one at a time to a frequency modulating input of the polar transmitter. The output of the polar transmitter is analyzed by observing the amplitude and frequency of the demodulated components corresponding to each square wave signal.
