<p>A technique for eliminating from or reducing the complexity of an upsampler/interpolator of a transmit system. In general, the technique involves configuring an IFFT to perform both the conversion of a modulated signal from frequency to time domain, and at least a portion of the upsampling from the first sampling rate towards the sampling rate of a DAC. In one embodiment, the IFFT is configured to have a bandwidth substantially equal to the sampling rate of a DAC. In this embodiment, the upsampler/interpolator may be totally eliminated. In another embodiment, the IFFT is configured to have a bandwidth that is greater than the first sampling rate of the modulated signal, and lower than the sampling rate of the DAC. In this embodiment, a simpler upsampler/interpolator may be employed to perform the remaining upsampling from the IFFT bandwidth to the sampling rate of the DAC.</p> |
