Methods and systems for polar modulation using a digital direct frequency synthesizer (DDFS) are disclosed and may comprise generating a phase modulated signal in a DDFS, amplitude modulating the generated phase modulated signal in a non-linear device and transmitting the signal via a wireless medium. A processor may control the generation of the phase and amplitude modulated signals. The non-linear device may comprise a non-linear power amplifier or a mixer. The method may also comprise generating a first phase modulated signal in a first DDFS and generating a second phase modulated signal in a second DDFS, or in a single DDFS with two integrated digital-to-analog converters, and upconverting and combining the first and second phase modulated signals and amplitude modulating the combined upconverted signals in a non-linear device. A processor may be enabled to control the generation of the first and second phase modulated signals.
