Abstract

A double mode modulator, particularly, for a portable telephone, which is adapted to realize both digital and analog modulations and have a low phase noise and a reduced locking time with a device readily integrated in an integrated circuit, including: a frequency synthesizer for synthesizing a particular frequency from an external reference clock signal; a digital modulator for performing a quadrature modulation for an output signal of the frequency synthesizer; and an analog modulator for performing a frequency modulation for the output signal of the frequency synthesizer.
