Abstract

A complex angle converter includes a comparing device. The comparing device operates to derive first difference data representing a difference between predetermined reference data and data represented by a first baseband signal. The comparing device further operates to derive second difference data representing a difference between the predetermined reference data and data represented by a second baseband signal having a quadrature relation with the first baseband signal. The comparing device further operates for comparing absolute values of the first difference data and the second difference data, and for outputting a signal representative of a result of the comparing. The complex angle converter also includes a device serving to group an inversion of a highest bit of the first baseband signal and second highest and lower bits of the second baseband signal into a first set. An additional device serves to group a highest bit of the second baseband signal and second highest and lower bits of the first baseband signal into a second set. A selector operates to select one of the first set and the second set in response to the output signal of the comparing device. A decoder is included…
