Abstract
A transmitting apparatus for generating a phase-modulated carrier signal with on-off keying (OOK) includes a coding circuitry for receiving binary digital data and generating an on-off keying (OOK) signal representing the binary digital data. The coding circuitry generates a phase modulation control signal for controlling a phase modulation of a millimeter wave carrier signal based on the on and off pattern of the OOK signal. The apparatus also includes a phase modulation circuitry for applying the phase modulation to the millimeter wave carrier signal based on the phase modulation control signal to generate a phase-modulated carrier signal, and a power amplifier for generating, based on the OOK signal and the phase-modulated carrier signal, an amplified phase-modulated carrier signal with OOK. The apparatus includes an interface to transmit the amplified phase-modulated carrier signal with OOK to a receiving apparatus via a millimeter wave communication link.
