Abstract
A high frequency modulator is described. It comprises: a first converter for receiving a constant current signal and transmitting a first converted signal; an adder coupled the first converter and operative for transmitting a summed signal in response to receiving the first converted signal and selectively receiving a triangular signal; a first oscillator coupled to the adder for receiving the summed signal, the first oscillator operative for transmitting a time varying current signal; a second converter coupled to the first oscillator for receiving the time varying current signal and operative for transmitting a second converted signal; and an output device selectively coupled to the second converter and operative for transmitting an output signal in response to receiving either the second converted signal or an offset signal.
