We have proposed a digital-to-radio (DIR) converter that can directly change a digital signal generated by a logic circuit into a radio signal. This D/R converter enables an F W circuit and an antenna to be composed of one simple device, and the radio can be directly controlled by software; this is the essence of software radio. The proposed converter is therefore applicable to an adaptive radio terminal and an adaptive-array-antenna system .We developed a new algorithm that enables the DIR converter to convert digital signals directly to radio signals Detailed analysis of a digital signal which is a square waveform makes it clear that the transmitting signal is directly generated by the logic circuit. We also developed a circuit design for a software radio transmitting unit that incorporates the DIR converter. The most critical point of this circuit design is high-precision phase adjustment. In order to precisely adjust the phase of the digital signal, we developed a new circuit which uses the delay gate of an LSI.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
