Abstract

In a dual mode transmitter for modulating, in a digital mode, an input digital signal and transmitting a modulated digital signal and modulating, in an analog mode, an input analog signal and transmitting a modulated analog signal, a digital modulating section modulates the input digital signal to thereby generate the modulated digital signal, and outputs the modulated digital signal. An analog modulator/carrier generator modulates the input analog signal to thereby generate the modulated analog signal, and outputs it. Also, the analog modulator/carrier generator generates a carrier signal for up-converting the modulated digital signal. The up-converter up-converts, in the digital mode, the modulated digital signal by using the carrier signal and receives, in the analog mode, the modulated analog signal and passes it therethrough.
