Abstract:
A transmitter, comprising:a phase splitting mechanism having an input for receiving a set of input digital signals, a first output, and a second output, said phase splitting mechanism separating said set of input digital signals into a positive phase portion comprising a first set of digital signals, and a negative phase portion comprising a second set of digital signals different from said first set of digital signals, said phase splitting mechanism converting said positive phase portion of said input digital signals into a first analog signal and providing said first analog signal at said first output, and converting said negative phase portion of said input digital signals into a second analog signal and providing said second analog signal at said second output; and an output stage coupled to said first and second outputs of said phase splitting mechanism for receiving said first and second analog signals, said output stage generating, based upon said first and second analog signals, an output signal having required signal levels, said output stage driving said output signal onto a transmission medium.
