This paper presents an original way to implement a wide band, low power, full-digital, linearized system for complex modulation transmitter. The circuit is devoted to all applications that require efficient amplification. It has been implemented ina 0.13µm BiCMOS9 process, so simulation and experimental results are presented to validate the principle of the system.
