The invention relates to an electronic circuit for solving problems of phase linearity involved with transmitting a signal through a digital-to-analog converter module. By connecting the following in cascade: an interpolator; a sigma-delta modulator; a digital-to-analog converter block made up of a 1-bit digital-to-analog converter and a multiband finite impulse response filter; and an analog filter, it is possible to filter out quantization noise while providing a linear response at the output from the circuit.

A current pulse generator device includes current pulse generator circuits and polarizer circuits. It further includes holding circuits for holding the polarization voltage connected to the generator circuits, the holding circuits connected via switch circuits to the polarizer circuits. The switch circuits can assume in succession a closed or adjustment position in which they connect the holding circuits to the polarizer circuits, and an open or operating position in which they isolate the holding circuits from the polarizer circuits so that the generator circuits generate at least one low-noise current pulse. The device can be used in a phase comparator and a radiocommunication terminal, and the phase comparator can be used in a synthesiser.

A transmit-receive system includes a phase-locked loop and a translation frequency loop. To bring about frequency hops, the frequencies in the two loops are varied with large increments in opposite directions. It is shown that the noise caused by the frequency division in the loops is thereby reduced.
