A technique is presented for correcting phase distortion in a digital wireless transmitter. The technique includes: receiving an RF signal in an analog domain by a digital-to-RF modulator; amplitude modulating, the RF signal in accordance with a digital input code; and introducing delay in a signal path traversed by the RF signal before the digital-to-RF modulator using a delay circuit. The duration of the delay depends upon the value of the digital input code and substantially cancels out the phase distortion introduced by the digital wireless transmitter.
