摘要：
The LINC transmitter is an architecture that provides linear amplification using nonlinear but power efficient amplifiers. One crucial signal processing function of LINC is the signal component separator (SCS) which forms two constant-amplitude phase-modulated signals from the source signal. This paper presents an analog SCS chip implemented in a 0.35 μm CMOS process using a novel design based on the so-called voltage-translinear circuit principle. An experimental LINC transmitter was built with the SCS chip, nonlinear amplifiers and a power combiner. Test results showed that all output spurious levels some -55 dBc and -48 dBc could be obtained with a North American Digital Cellular (NADC) signal and an IS-95 signal, respectively. This implies a high degree of linearity.
