Abstract
A phase modulation method with a polar transmitter. A target frequency is first designated by comparing the RF signal with a reference frequency and the phase sample. An oscillator control word is generated based on the target frequency. A digital oscillator can modulate from a first phase to a second phase to synthesize a preliminary RF signal based on the oscillator control word. When the target frequency exceeds the modulation capability of the digital oscillator, the oscillator control word is generated based on the target frequency minus 180 degrees, and the preliminary RF signal is shifted by 180 degrees to be the RF signal having the target frequency. When the target frequency does not exceed the modulation capability of the digital oscillator, the oscillator control word is generated solely based on the target frequency to output the preliminary RF signal to be the RF signal having the target frequency.
