Abstract
All digital RF modulator. An RF modulator, implemented using only digital techniques, obviates the need for an additional board, implemented using discrete analog components, to perform the necessary modulation to provide the RF output signal for use with a display device (television). Modern displays typically include functionality to support a number of input types beyond an RF input. However, older, legacy displays typically only support inputs that are RF in nature. A fully integrated solution that performs the RF modulation of the output signal that may be used in such legacy types systems is provided using digital techniques.
