A transmission arrangement is provided for transmitting data continuously in the time domain. The arrangement includes at least one programmable amplifier in the baseband or in the radio frequency path in the signal processing chain for the signal which is to be transmitted. This programmable amplifier is distinguished in that the signal which actuates the programmable amplifier is a discrete-value signal. By dispensing with complex digital/analog converters, the principle described allows markedly reduced power consumption in transmitters which use code multiple access methods.
