Abstract

A new direct-digital quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) modulator is presented in this paper

which can be reconfigured between 4-QAM

16-QAM and higher modulation formats.Based on current vector sum

this paper first employs two high-speed Operational Transconductance Amplifiers (OTAs) to generate a set of quadrature basis current vectors whose amplitudes are tunable.A pair of vectors is selected by the switch network to be added in current domain

which reduces the nonlinearity.The chip was fabricated in 0.13 μm CMOS technology.The measured data throughput at 5.4GHz carrier frequency is 16Mbps.Experimental results show that the error vector magnitude (EVM) is 6.20% in the 16-QAM modulation state.The chip core occupies an area of 0.09mm

.The circuit consumes 20mA o

f dc current from a 1.2V supply.
