    Abstract: A method of performing modulation of a data signal at a phase-locked loop (PLL) includes generating, at an upper frequency port of the PLL, a digital loop signal based at least in part on the data signal. The method further includes differentiating the digital loop signal to generate a digital input signal and converting the digital input signal to an analog current signal. A first feedback signal is generated based on the analog current signal. The method further includes generating, at a lower frequency port of the PLL, a second feedback signal based on the first feedback signal and further based on the data signal. According to further embodiments, apparatuses and a computer-readable medium are disclosed.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described methods, systems, and devices may include sampling an input signal to obtain one or more signal windows. An amplitude of a first sample within a first signal window of the one or more signal windows may be determined to exceed an amplitude threshold. A series of cancellation pulses may be combined with the first sample within the first signal window to obtain a reduced signal, the reduced signal including one or more reduced samples each having an amplitudes within the amplitude threshold. The series of cancellation pulses may be based on a characteristic of the first sample. The reduced signal may then be transmitted. The series of cancellation pulses may be based on, for example, an envelope of the first sample. In some cases, the series of cancellation pulses may be based on a phase of the first sample.
