Abstract
An amplitude modulation circuit in a polar transmitter includes a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), a filter, a gm stage, and a calibration module. The DAC is arranged to be coupled to an amplitude modulation signal input in a normal mode. The filter is coupled to the DAC, and the gm stage is coupled to the filter. The calibration module has an input coupled to the gm stage, and an output coupled to a node on a path between the DAC and the gm stage. A method for calibrating an amplitude offset in the polar transmitter includes: generating an amplitude offset calibration signal according to an amplitude modulation signal generated from the gm stage; and transmitting the amplitude offset calibration signal via the output of the calibration module to a node on a path between the DAC and the gm stage so as to calibrate the amplitude offset.
