Abstract
An apparatus for interpolation of polar signals in RF transmitters is disclosed. The apparatus comprises an estimation circuit configured to receive an input in-phase (I) quadrature (Q) signal comprising a plurality of input IQ samples having a first sampling rate associated therewith, and determine a selection metric value indicative of a position of an IQ trajectory associated with one or more input IQ samples of the input IQ signal. The apparatus further comprises a selection circuit configured to receive the input IQ signal and the selection metric value; and adaptively provide the input IQ signal to a first interpolation circuit that implements a first interpolation method or to a second interpolation circuit that implements a second, different interpolation method, for generating interpolated polar samples at a second, different sampling rate, from the input IQ signal, based on the selection metric value.
