Abstract: A circuit substrate has three wiring layers, wherein a signal line is formed in a first wiring layer; a ground plane is formed in a second wiring layer; a resonant line is formed in a third wiring layer. A circumferential slit is formed in the ground plane, wherein an island electrode separated from the ground plane is formed inside the slit. The left end of the resonant line is connected to the island electrode through an interlayer-connecting via, while the right end of the resonant line is connected to the ground plane through an interlayer-connecting via. A transmission line (or a microstrip line) is formed using the signal line and the ground plane, and therefore a complex resonator is formed to embrace the transmission line. This achieves band elimination with regard to a signal component of a resonance frequency among signals propagating through the microstrip line.

Abstract: This invention includes a waveform analyzing means (13) for calculating an estimated value of a back-off value required by a power amplifier (2), which amplifies a high-frequency signal generated from a baseband signal (I, Q) to a predetermined transmission power, by analyzing the waveform of the baseband signal (I, Q), and a control means (14) for controlling at least one of the amplitude of high-frequency power input to the power amplifier (2) and the supply power of the power amplifier (2) on the basis of the estimated value. The invention calculates the estimated value of a back-off value by analyzing the waveform of a baseband in this manner, and hence need not generate a table in advance by calculating a back-off value for each combination of code channels. The invention can therefore be applied to even a case in which the number of code channels greatly increases, and can effectively prevent an increase in adjacent channel leakage power due to a signal obtained by multiplexing these code channels.

Therefore, a malfunction can be prevented and the improvement of operability can be attempted to the user.

Abstract: An interference power measuring circuit in a base station measures the interference power in a cell that the base station belongs to. When the measured interference power is larger than a predetermined value, the transmitter in the base station transmits the interference information for each frequency used in the FDMA communication system to a base station in a neighboring cell. The base station in the neighboring cell instructs user equipment that communicates the base station to reduce a transmission power.
