Abstract: A transmitter device is switchably operable in a digital IQ mode (DIQM) of operation and a polar mode (PM) of operation. The device has a switch that determines an attribute of operation of the transmitter device. When a first condition of the attribute is met, the switch is to switch to or remain in the PM, and when a second condition of the attribute is met, the switch is to switch to or remain in the DIQM. The attribute may be: a modulation bandwidth to be used during a transmission time slot, whether a transmission is to be a non-contiguous single-carrier transmission or a non-contiguous multiple-carrier transmission, a contiguous single-carrier transmission or a contiguous multiple-carrier transmission, whether a low or high EVM mode transmission is to be used during a transmission time period, whether an LTE, a 5G, or a Wi-Fi mode transmission is to be used, among others.

Abstract: A RF digital to analog converter has a first capacitor arrangement, a first common node, and a first controller. The first capacitor arrangement has multiple switchable capacitor paths arranged in parallel. Respective switchable capacitor paths have a switchable element and a capacitor coupled in series. The first common node is connected to the multiple switchable capacitor paths. The first controller receives a baseband signal having a component, and a local oscillator (LO) signal. The first controller combines the component and the LO signal to obtain a first modulation signal. The first controller controls the multiple switchable capacitor paths of the first capacitor arrangement with the first modulation signal.
