Claim Text:
1. A method for digital amplitude control and digital phase control of a high-frequency signal, the method comprising: providing a digital command signal that specifies in complex form, comprising a real subcomponent and an imaginary subcomponent, an amplitude and a phase of the high-frequency signal that is to be controlled; outputting a digital activation signal comprising a real subcomponent and an imaginary subcomponent to a high-frequency unit for generating the high-frequency signal; receiving a digital signal deviation value in complex form comprising a real subcomponent and an imaginary subcomponent, wherein the digital signal deviation value expresses a deviation of the high-frequency signal from the digital command signal with respect to the amplitude and the phase; and determining the digital activation signal from the digital command signal while taking into consideration the digital signal deviation value, wherein the determination of the real subcomponent and the imaginary subcomponent of the digital activation signal occurs separately in each case.
