Abstract: A modulation path synchronization apparatus in a polar transmitter includes a modulation path to receive a training waveform, a detector coupled to the modulation path, and a processor coupled to the detector. The detector is to detect a modulated training waveform. The processor is to determine a delay between the training waveform and the modulated training waveform.

Abstract: A control input signal to select a modulation architecture. When a first modulation architecture is selected based on the control input signal, a time varying and substantially known baseband bias control signal is applied to a bias input of a power amplification module and a time varying and substantially known baseband modulation envelope signal is applied to an input of the power amplification module. When a second modulation architecture is selected based on the control input signal, the time varying and substantially known baseband modulation envelope signal is applied to the bias input of the power amplification module and the time varying and substantially known baseband bias control signal is applied to the input of the power amplification module.
