Abstract: An FM intermediate-frequency circuit into which there is integrated at least a limiter-amplifier (1A) and a phase-locked loop which contains a VCO (4). The limiter-amplifier also includes a level detector. The dynamic range of the level detector is expanded without having to use excessive limiter-amplifier amplification, which would cause oscillation problems, by placing in parallel with the limiter-amplifier (1A) at least a second limiter-amplifier (1B), in connection with which there is also a level detector. The level of the input signal of the second limiter-amplifier (1B) is dropped as compared with that of the first limiter-amplifier (1A) by means of a dividing circuit (R1, R2). The signals (1A, 1B) obtained from the level detectors are combined to form one level detection signal (ITOT). If the signals are in the form of current, the combining can be carried out directly by summing the signals.

Abstract: A circuit arrangement allows either analog (ANAL) modulation or (DIG) digital modulation to be selected by means of couplers (K1, K2) for transmission over a radio channel. The analog or digital signals are applied to I,Q generators to form I, Q wave shapes (I.sub.A, Q.sub.A or I.sub.D, Q.sub.D), which modulate a possible intermediate frequency in a stage (3) and upon summation, modulate a transmission frequency in a stage (4).

Abstract: A control voltage generator in a transmitter arrangement for, e.g., QAM signals comprising a class C output amplifier (AMP). The control voltage generator (CVG) comprises a memory with a look up table (ROM), whereby the I,Q-signals (I,Q) of the modulating signal (DM) address a cell in the look-up table (ROM), the information of which is used as a control signal (CS) to control the amplifier output level (RF). The information is modified to compensate for temperature variations and other non-linearities.

Abstract: A method and circuit for automatically controlling the frequency of a radio telephone. According to this method, the frequency of the signal detected at the receiver of a radio telephone is mixed with the output frequency of a phase-locked loop in a first mixer. The output frequency of the first mixer is mixed in a second mixer with the frequency derived from a local oscillator. The frequency of the phase-locked loop is controlled on the basis of the frequency deviation of the output frequency of the second mixer. This frequency deviation can be determined by counting the pulses generated by the second mixer during a predetermined time interval, the time interval being equal to the amount of time which elapses when a specified number of pulses generated by the local oscillator is counted. The reference frequency of the phase-locked loop is derived from the frequency of the local oscillator.

Abstract: In a circuit arrangement for the generation of I,Q waveforms, an incoming analog signal controls a voltage-controlled oscillator (1), whose output signal (U1) is frequency-modulated. This signal (U1) is mixed with unmodulated signals by using mixers that are switches (6,7). The signals controlling the switches are either modulated or oscillator-generated rectangular waves. The circuit arrangement can be implemented as an integrated circuit.

Abstract: Mounting base for the transceiver of a mobile telephone for use in vehicles, the transceiver having a rigid boxlike enclosure. The mounting base (10) comprises a baseboard (12) having a main surface (20) and at least four sides (21, 22, 23, 24), at least three resilient brackets (14, 14', 14") extending from the sides of the baseboard. The brackets (14, 14', 14") have clips (16, 16', 16") at their free ends pointing inwardly over the baseboard. For mounting, the transceiver enclosure (110) is placed against the brackets and the transceiver bottom plate (112) against the baseboard (12) so that the bracket clips tightly snap on the transceiver upper edges. Pins (30) and recesses (40) cooperate with corresponding recesses and supports in the enclosure preventing the transceiver enclosure form moving relative the baseboard. The mounting base (10) is well suited for automatic production.
