Abstract
The disclosed apparatus and corresponding method uses amplifiers and a differential combiner to control the output power of a digital-to-analog upconverter and to isolate In-phase and Quadrature branches of the upconverter. First and second upconverters convert In-phase and Quadrature portions of a baseband digital value to respective first/second In-phase (Ip/In) and first/second Quadrature (Qp/Qn) analog components at RF. First and second amplifiers respectively amplify Ip, In and Qp, Qn to respectively generate amplified Ip, In and Qp, Qn signals. The first and second amplifiers each operate at a 50% duty cycle and in an interleaved fashion such that only one amplifier is active to generate an output at any time, and such that the amplified signals are output in an interleaved fashion. A differential combiner combines the amplified signals to generate the RF analog signal representative of the baseband digital value.
