Abstract
A phase and/or amplitude modulation device includes a TORP signal generator and, during a phase modulation or a phase and amplitude modulation, a generator of a phase-modulated periodic signal of frequency Fapplied to a control input of the power supply circuit of the TORP signal generator. The device may also include, during an amplitude modulation or a phase and amplitude modulation, 2TORP generators, a thermometric code generator on 2bits coding an amplitude modulation, a TORP generator control circuit, applying or not, to the control input of the TORP generator power supply, the periodic signal of frequency Fdepending on the bits of the thermometric code signal, and a processing circuit coupled to the outputs of the TORP generators, and configured to produce a linear combination of signals outputted by the TORP generators.
