Abstract
A millimeter wave (MMW) circuitry includes a phase modulation circuitry, a plurality of amplifier multiplier chain circuitries and a power combiner circuitry. The phase modulation circuitry is configured to receive input data and a plurality of divided input signals and to provide as output a plurality of phase modulation circuitry output signals. Each phase modulation circuitry output signal corresponds to a respective divided input signal. At least one phase modulation circuitry output signal has a nonzero phase relative to the divided input signals that is related to the input data. Each amplifier multiplier chain circuitry is configured to amplify and frequency multiply and phase multiply the respective phase modulation circuitry output signal to yield a respective power combiner input signal. The power combiner circuitry is configured to sum a plurality of power combiner input signals to yield an output signal. A modulation of the output signal is related to the input data.
