Benefits of technology

The solution enables a compact, low-cost, low-power modulator that improves signal quality by reducing computational complexity and preventing spurious signals, facilitating easier miniaturization and enhanced performance.

Problems solved by technology

the multiplications among pluralities of bits occur the number of times being twice the product obtained by multiplying the number of taps of the FIR filter by a clock frequency (product of a chip-rate frequency and oversampling rate) per unit time, which causes an enormous amount of operations.
This presents problems in that a computing circuit becomes large in scale, causing difficulties in miniaturization and increased costs for a modulator.
Also, power consumption to operate the circuit is increased, which causes an increase in heat generation.
Another problems arise in that, when computing accuracy is to be made higher to improve signal quality, an amount of computation also increases, which makes the computing circuit further larger in scale and increases the consumption power, still further leading to difficulties in the improvement of signal quality.
