A Modulator-less Beam Steering Transmitter based on a revised DDS-PLL Phase Shifter Architecture

This paper details the design and implementation of a modulator-less beam steering transmitter based on a revised DDS-PLL phase shifter architecture. The proposed topology targets low data rate communications for Internet-of-Things systems, and has been demonstrated using an FPGA evaluation board an...
