Abstract
A radio frequency (RF) transmitter includes a set of input ports to receive baseband samples of a signal to be transmitted on a set of disjoint frequency bands, a set of filter banks, there is one filter bank for each input port, each filter bank includes a plurality of digital polyphase interpolation filters to sample a shifted phase of the corresponding sequence of baseband samples and to interpolate the sampled phases to produce a plurality of sequences of interpolated baseband phased samples with the shifted phase, and a set of oscillators banks, each oscillator bank includes a plurality of polyphase Digital Direct Synthesizer (DDS) corresponding to the plurality of digital polyphase interpolation filters to generate a plurality of sequences of samples of digital waveform. The RF transmitter includes a set of mixer banks to mix corresponding sequences of samples of digital waveform and interpolated baseband phased samples to up convert each sequence of interpolated baseband phased samples to the effective frequency, a parallel digital combiner to combine in-phase sequences of interpolated baseband phased samples of different frequency bands to produce a plurality of sequences o…
