Abstract
Transmitter comprising a delta-sigma modulator (DSM), a sample rate converter (SRC) situated downstream of the delta-sigma modulator with respect to a direction of transmission signal flow, and a switching amplifier (SA) situated downstream of the sample rate converter (SRC) with respect to the direction of transmission signal flow. The invention as defined above allows for a decoupling of the clock frequency of the delta-sigma modulator (DSM) and the carrier frequency, for example in radio frequency (RF) signal generation applications using delta-sigma modulators. With the invention described herein it is possible to design the delta-sigma modulator independently of the carrier frequency.
