Wireless audio applications at 5.8GHz require a wide band GFSK modulator with small distortion and very low power consumption. The traditional open loop modulation technique is susceptible to pulling. More advance close loop modulation requires precise calibration to match gains of analog and digital predistortion paths. We demonstrate a direct GFSK modulator at 5.8GHz with low power consumption using 0.18 µm SiGe BiCMOS technology. Our technique is not based on predistortion of the digital signal and therefore does not require an exact match between transfer functions of digital and analog paths.
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.
