Abstract

Abstract A quadrature modulation circuit includes a low pass filter which operates by a time division process for the in-phase channel and quadrature-phase channel, and reduces address requirements data using amplitude symmetry of the wave form and/or using symmetry wave form on the time axis. The capacity of the ROM is reduced by half or more and the configuration of the quadrature modulation circuit is simplified.
