Abstract
A method for switching interval modulation includes modulating an RF input data signal while generating and inserting additional pulses in transitions of the data signal. The additional pulses are structured to shift transition noise into higher order harmonics. Higher order harmonics are easily filtered. The generating is conducted in the digital domain. The additional pulses can be used to simplify the transmit chain through optical modulators and improve the signal integrity over long distances, can be applied at the output of a transmitter to filter power amplifier distortion, and can be applied to non-linear RF over fiber for a distributed MIMO system.
