Abstract

Current telecommunications device transmission stages require a significant number of analogue (DAC) components. The present invention provides a digital to analogue converter implementation for coupling to the digital signal processing (DSP) stage of the device and comprises a DAC and means to nullify the output of the DAC over part of the DSP data output period to produce a series of pulses corresponding to this data. The pulses are bandpass filtered to produce an analogue output signal at an intermediate frequency.
