METHOD FOR MODULATING AN OUTPUT VOLTAGE OF A RF TRANSMITTER CIRCUIT, AND RF TRANSMITTER CIRCUIT

摘要

The invention relates to a method for modulating an output voltage of a transmitter circuit comprising a voltage controlled oscillator, a digital/analog converter and an antenna circuit, the method comprising the method comprising sending an output signal of sufficient power from the voltage controlled oscillator directly to the antenna circuit and directly modulating a frequency of the output signal of the voltage controlled oscillator. The invention furthermore relates to a transmitter circuit comprising a voltage controlled oscillator having a tank circuit, a digital/analog converter and an antenna circuit, wherein the voltage controlled oscillator is adapted to send an output signal of sufficient power directly to the antenna circuit and wherein the digital/analog converter is arranged to modulate an output frequency of the voltage controlled oscillator. A capacitive load circuit may be connected to the tank circuit or a crystal oscillator circuit of the voltage controlled oscillator for modulating the frequency of the voltage controlled oscillator.
