Abstract
Described herein are technologies related to an implementation of a time interleaved digital-to-time converter (DTC) topology to generate high frequency phase modulated local oscillator (LO) signals. A first and second DTC are connected to an oscillator where outputs of the two DTCs are combined to generate a phase modulated signal and the two DTCs have a frequency rate that is half the frequency rate of the phase modulated signal. The two DTCs can operate at a 50 percent or lower duty cycle.
