Method of up-converting and up-converter with pre-compensation filter

摘要

An up-converter for digitally sampled baseband signals having the sinc(x) spectral replication functionality of a DAC, using a post-DAC, band pass filter to isolate a baseband replica that falls within that sidelobe of the DAC's sinc(x) frequency response containing the desired IF. The parameters of a pre-compensation filter and the gain of a post DAC amplifier are set to compensate for the distortion and attenuation imparted by the DAC's sinc(x) frequency response. <IMAGE>
