Abstract

Vector modulation is illustrated. A method includes receiving an input signal. The input signal is split into a first 0° output and a 90° output. The first 0° output is split into a second 0° output and a first 180° output using a continuous transmission line. The 90° output is split into a third 0° output and a second 180° output using a continuous transmission line. The second 0° output, the first 180° output, the third 0° output, and the second 180° output are modulated. The modulated second 0° output, the first 180° output, the third 0° output, and the second 180° output are recombined to produce an output signal, where all four of the modulated second 0° output, the first 180° output, the third 0° output, and the second 180° output are used to create the output signal.
