Abstract

L'invention concerne un émetteur numérique comprenant : un modem (11) qui module des données de communication pour générer un signal numérique modulé ; des circuits de modulation ΔΣ (12, 13) qui assurent la modulation delta-sigma du signal numérique modulé généré par le modem (11) pour obtenir en sortie les signaux numériques modulés comme étant modulés delta-sigma ; des circuits à haute fréquence (21, 22) qui convertissent les puissances de signal des signaux numériques modulés obtenus en sortie par les circuits de modulation ΔΣ (12, 13) à un niveau de puissance désiré, et qui convertissent les fréquences des signaux numériques modulés à partir de fréquences d'IF en une fréquence de RF ; et un circuit synthétiseur (23) qui synthétise le signal numérique modulé comme étant converti par le circuit à haute fréquence (21) avec le signal numérique modulé comme étant converti par le circuit à haute fréquence (22) pour obtenir en sortie un signal synthétisé des deux signaux numériques modulés, les configurations de circuits des circuits de modulation ΔΣ (12, 13) étant différentes l'une de l'autre.
