A modulator (100) comprises a polar generation stage (120) arranged for generating an amplitude component and a phase component of a modulation signal, a differentiator stage (150) arranged for generating a differentiated phase component by differentiating the phase component; and an event detection stage (170) arranged for detecting a high bandwidth event by detecting at least one of the amplitude component and the differentiated phase component meeting an event criterion. An inversion stage (130) is arranged for generating a modified amplitude component by inverting the amplitude component in response to detecting the high bandwidth event. A phase offset stage (150) is arranged for generating a modified differentiated phase component by, in response to detecting the high bandwidth event, adding to the differentiated phase component a phase offset having a magnitude of 180 degrees and a sign opposite to a sign of the differentiated phase component. An amplitude modulation stage (300) is arranged for employing the modified amplitude component to modulate the amplitude of a carrier signal, and a phase modulation stage (200) is arranged for employing the modified differentiated phase component to modulate the frequency of the carrier signal. |
