Abstract: A digital quadrature modulator having a first storage device for receiving an I phase component of a digital baseband signal and digital carrier phase information as a higher order address and a lower order address, respectively, and a second storage device for receiving a Q phase component of the digital baseband signal and the digital carrier phase information as a higher order address and a lower order address, respectively. The carrier phases of the carrier phase information applied to the first and the second storage devices are out of phase from each other by .pi./2. The first storage device outputs a multiplication result of the I phase component and a carrier signal and the second storage device outputs a multiplication result of the Q phase component and the carrier signal based on these addresses. These outputs are added to each other in a digital manner and then converted into an analog signal which is supplied as a modulated signal.
