The transmission link comprises an analog signal source and a digital phase shifter, wherein the analog signal source may be configured to provide an initial analog signal, and the digital phase shifter may be configured to generate a phase shift signal in a digital domain, and perform phase shifting on the initial analog signal on the basis of the phase shift signal, so as to perform a preset phase shift operation on the initial analog signal, such that the phase modulation resolution and phase modulation accuracy are effectively improved, and an off-line calibration operation on a link and a device such as a phase shifter in the transmission link can also be avoided, thus reducing the complexity and difficulty of engineering implementation. In addition, the area and loss of a transmission link having a phase shifter architecture can also be effectively reduced, thereby improving the stability of a system, and reducing a channel coupling degree.
