Abstract
Embodiments of a transmitter having an architecture that reduces power consumption and complexity are disclosed. In some embodiments, a transmitter comprises a modulator comprising an actuator, modulation circuitry, and an adaptor. The actuator is operable to apply at least one adjustment to at least one modulator input signal to provide at least one adjusted modulator input signal. The modulation circuitry is operable to perform a modulation operation on the at least one adjusted modulator input signal to provide a modulated signal, and the adaptor is operable to adaptively configure the at least one adjustment applied to the at least one modulator input signal such that a Peak-to-Average Ratio (PAR) of the modulated signal is reduced.
