Abstract
The present invention discloses a method and apparatus for wide dynamic range phase conversion. In one embodiment, inphase and quadrature signal components of a complex input signal are collapsed into a single quadrant to produce a first signal representation. A scaling operation is subsequently performed on the first signal representation to produce a second signal representation. Lastly, the second signal representation is converted into the phase domain.
