Abstract
A wideband fully integrated two-way radio transmitter (100) includes a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) (101) for providing a voltage at a radio frequency. A divider (103) is used reducing the radio frequency (RF) signal from the VCO to a an intermediate frequency. A voltage-to-current converter is used for changing the voltage of the intermediate frequency RF signal to an RF current. A transmit buffer is then used for amplifying the RF current supplied by the voltage-to-current converter for amplification by a power amplifier. The fully integrated current mode transmit buffer offers the advantage of amplification over a large bandwidth while providing isolation between the transmit buffer and the VCO.
