1. A quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) transmitter, comprising:
a baseband circuit to generate an in-phase (I) signal and a quadrature (Q) signal; a first circuit, having inputs to receive the I signal and a first clock signal, to generate a first pulse-width modulated (PWM) signal; a second circuit, having inputs to receive an inverted I signal and the first clock signal, to generate a second PWM signal; a third circuit, having inputs to receive the Q signal and a second clock signal, to generate a third PWM signal; a fourth circuit, having inputs to receive an inverted Q signal and the second clock signal, to generate a fourth PWM signal; a first signal combiner, coupled to the first and second circuits, to generate an output I signal in response to one or more even-ordered harmonics of the first and second PWM signals; a second signal combiner, coupled to the third and fourth circuits, to generate an output Q signal in response to one or more even-ordered harmonics of the third and fourth PWM signals; and a summing node to generate a QAM output signal in response to a summing of the output I signal and the output Q signal. |
