Abstract
Direct up-conversion of a signal is accomplished using a sampling pulse generator circuit and a gated differential amplifier, enabled by the sampling signal. When not enabled, the output of the differential amplifier is pulled to zero. The sampling pulse is generated from a base frequency sine wave which is squared with a limiting amplifier, and further passed through one or more frequency doublers producing a times two signal, a times four signal and so on. The squared base frequency and frequency doubled signals are logically ORed to produce a short duration pulse which repeats at the frequency of the base signal. The resulting output is an amplitude modulated pulse doublet time domain waveform.
