Abstract
Otherwise conventional pulse-width modulators (PWMs) generate signals that can be converted into other forms by reshapers, and thereby overcome many of the problems of conventional PWMs in applications that demand high performance, such as switched-mode amplifiers and radio-frequency transmitters in modern communication systems. With a suitable reshaper, a conventional PWM differential signal can be converted into a signal more typical of linear amplification with nonlinear components (LINC) and still retain low-frequency information, such as the information needed for linearization of a switched-mode amplifier. Apparatus and methods of transforming signals are disclosed.
