  ABSTRACT: We present a nonlinear event-driven model of a Digital PLL used in the context of a polar modulation. This modeling has shown that the estimation method of the TDC gain has a big impact on the EVM for wideband modulation and a solution has been proposed which consists to add the modulation on the gain after calibration of the gain offset. This transforms the classical two-points modulator into a three-points modulator. This implementation has been validated for WCDMA standard.
