ABSTRACT:
A class-S modulator (5) receives an input signal (10) having envelope information and pulse-width modulates the input signal (10) using a reference waveform (26) from a waveform generator (25). The envelope becomes a pulse-width modulated signal is level-shifted and amplified through a pre-driver (40). A driver (50) controls switches (60, 70) which drive an output (80) into a low-pass filter (90) wherein the envelope is restored to the amplified signal for driving a power amplifier in a wide-band transceiver.
