- This letter presents a fully integrated tri-state radio frequency (RF) modulator for wideband and multiband long-term evolution (LTE) transmitters. The quantization noise was effectively reduced by using an envelope modulator equipped with a single-opamp resonator, thereby improving the wideband efficiency and linearity. Broadband design techniques with RF building blocks enable multiband operation. A power amplifier with dual mode supply was designed to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. The RF modulator was implemented in a 130혻nm CMOS process with an active area of 3.4혻mm2. At carrier frequencies from 960혻MHz to 3혻GHz for a 20-MHz LTE signal, the measured coding efficiency, adjacent channel leakage ratio, and error vector magnitude were found to exceed 71%, ?닋36 dBc, and 3.9%, respectively.
