Abstract

A transmitter (800) to transmit data from an end-point includes a reference oscillator (802); a low pass filter (804) coupled to the reference oscillator (802); a modulation filter (804) to provide an over-sampled modulated signal; a synthesizer (808) coupled to the low pass filter (804) and the modulation filter (806); and a sine wave generator (812) coupled to the synthesizer (808).
