<p>A signal source generates a phase-modulated output signal responsive to a phase-modulation signal. A phase splitter splits the phase-modulated output signal into two or more phase-offset output signals. A switch provides a selected one of the phase-offset output signals from the phase splitter to a transmit amplifier circuit. Large phase transitions in the phase-modulation signal are detected and reduced to decrease modulation bandwidth requirements at the signal source. When a phase transition in the phase-modulation signal is reduced, the switch is coherently switched from one phase-offset output signal to another to substantially restore the full phase transition in the output signal presented to the transmit amplifier circuit. In this manner, the transmit amplifier receives substantially the same phase transitions as are in the original phase-modulation signal.</p> |
