A Study on the Implementation of Wideband Hybrid Quadrature Polar Transmitter Platform

In this paper, we proposed the architecture of the Hybrid Quadrature Polar transmitter which has the wideband characteristics available for the SRD(Short Range Device). First, we developed the simulation environment and carried out performance degradation analysis. Second, we considered the slewrate of the VVA(Voltage Variable Attenuator), time delay between magnitude signal and phase signal and the number of bits for DAC(Digital-to-Analog Converter) as the main performance factors. Then we obtained the minimum required values to meet the transmitting performance requirements of 3GPP standards through simulation results. Based on these results, we implemented the Wideband Hybrid Quadrature Polar transmitter platform and varified the performance requirements through practical measurement.
