    Abstract: An apparatus for generating a radio frequency signal based on a symbol within a constellation diagram is provided. The constellation diagram is spanned by a first axis representing an in-phase component and an orthogonal second axis representing a quadrature component. The apparatus includes a processing unit configured to select one of a plurality of segments of the constellation diagram containing the symbol. The segment is delimited by two radially extending boundaries, wherein the two radially extending boundaries span an opening angle of the segment that is different from 90°. The processing unit is further configured to calculate a first coordinate of the symbol with respect to a third axis, and a second coordinate of the symbol with respect to a fourth axis. At least one of the third axis and the fourth axis coincides with one of the two radially extending boundaries. The apparatus further includes a plurality of digital-to-analog converter cells configured to generate the radio frequency signal using the first coordinate and the second coordinate.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for aligning amplitude and phase signals in a polar receiver. A receiver generates digital amplitude and phase signals representing the amplitude and phase of a modulated input signal. At least one of the digital signals is filtered using a fractional delay filter with a variable delay. The delay of the fractional delay filter is adjusted to align the amplitude and phase signals. In some embodiments, an error vector magnitude is determined by comparing in-phase and quadrature values of the signal with values corresponding to a constellation point, and the delay is adjusted based on the error vector magnitude. The fractional delay filter may be a finite impulse response filter with coefficients stored in a lookup table that correspond to different delays.
