Abstract

The invention provides an up-converter and an up-conversion method. The up-converter comprises a double-path digital-to-analog converter for converting an input baseband signal into two paths of orthogonal mid-frequency and low-frequency signals and outputting the two paths of orthogonal mid-frequency and low-frequency signals, and an analog orthogonal modulator for receiving the two paths of orthogonal mid-frequency and low-frequency signals, modulating the two paths of orthogonal mid-frequency and low-frequency signals into mid-frequency signals by using a local oscillation signal of a first oscillator in the up-converter and outputting the mid-frequency signals. According to the up-converter and the up-conversion method, the volume of the up-converter, the circuit complexity and the implementation cost are reduced; and furthermore, the analog orthogonal modulator replaces a frequency mixer and is used for processing the signals, so that spurious signals are reduced, and the signals are relatively clean.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of communications, and in particular to an up-converter and an up-convert method. Background technique [0002] An upconverter is a device that moves a low-frequency signal to a high-frequency band in the frequency domain. For the transmitter, the use of the up-converter has the advantages of simplifying the design and manufacture of the antenna, facilitating generation, improving the utilization of the spectrum, and preventing co-channel interference; for the signal generator, the use of the up-converter can generate different high-frequency Signal. [0003] DAC (Digital to Analog Converter, digital-to-analog converter) is an important part of the up-converter, and it is a converter that converts a discrete signal in the form of a binary number into an analog signal based on a reference. Through the DAC, the up-converter realizes the conversion of digital information and analog signal. At prese...
