  • Patent number: 5819165
    Abstract: The invention is based on utilizing the receiver of a radio device to detect measured quantities related to a transmission signal. In the power regulating method according to the present invention, which is based on a power regulating loop, transmission power is detected in the receiver of the radio device. Part of the transmission signal (f.sub.TX) is input to the carrier frequency part of the signal path of the receiver by and detected. A signal that is proportional to the power level is produced by a RSSI detector of the receiver, for example. The same circuit can also be utilized in the linearization of a transmission signal based on a closed loop by means of predistortion. Both the power regulation method and the linearization method can be applied in radio telephone systems based on both time-division and continuous transmission and reception.

  • Patent number: 5740521
    Abstract: In the frequency synthesizer, the stable transmission frequency required by the digital operating mode is created from a frequency produced by a free running oscillator and which includes frequency errors. A local frequency (f.sub.1) and an intermediate frequency (f.sub.IF) including frequency errors are input to a mixer (105) located in the signal path of the transmitter. A transmission frequency transmission signal (f.sub.TX) is input to a phase-lock loop with a voltage-controlled oscillator (103) that produces the local frequency (f.sub.1). Thereby the frequency error caused by the intermediate frequency (f.sub.IF) can be corrected with the local frequency (f.sub.1) by adjusting the voltage-controlled oscillator (103) of the loop with a voltage (V.sub.D) that is proportional to the phase difference between the transmission frequency signal and a reference signal (V.sub.REF) input to a phase comparator.

  • Patent number: 5734683
    Abstract: A sigma-delta signal converter is implemented using switched capacitor switching elements in which a first switch (31) serves as a mixer (11). The output of the mixer is directed to the second input of an adder (16), and its second input is the feedback signal (f1) of the sigma-delta signal converter, which is also directed into a base-frequency output signal through a decimator (14) and low-pass filtering (15).

  • Patent number: 5551067
    Abstract: A method of controlling an external radio frequency amplifier of a radio telephone and a control system therefore. The power amplifier of the transmission side of the radio frequency amplifier is controlled to turn on and off, on the basis of at least one control signal (BENA1, BENA2) entering the radio frequency amplifier separate from a signal to be transmitted from the radio telephone. The control signal (BENA1, BENA2) contains information about the starting and ending instant of transmission.

  • Patent number: 5530923
    Abstract: A dual mode transmitter circuit is disclosed including a non-linear high-power amplifier having an amplification that can be adjusted and a linear high-power amplifier. A first switch and a second switch are connected to the input and output of the linear, high-power amplifier. An amplification-adjustable, high-frequency transmitter control amplifier is connected to the input of the non-linear high-power amplifier. Apparatus for measuring transmission power such as a directional coupler is connected to the second switch, and a duplex filter is connected to the directional coupler. A power level control circuit is responsive to the measured transmission power from the directional coupler and to a power level signal. The power level signal is representative of the desired output power of the transmitter.

  • Patent number: 5471652
    Abstract: The invention relates to a general purpose circuit arrangement for a radio telephone wherein the universal application possibilities have been provided by phase-locked circuits (PLL1 to PLL3) and by a multiplier circuit (11, 12) that can be controlled (signals Select x1/x2 and Synte sel./Data) by the processor of the mobile telephone. The second harmonic or the fundamental frequency is selected by the multiplier circuit from the VCO oscillators (61, 62). In this way, the frequencies of the synthesizer circuits (UHF1, UHF2, UHF3) can be set independently of each other and according to the requirements of the respective cellular networks. The central circuits are advantageously integrated into four IC circuits (IC1 to IC4).

  • Patent number: 5446422
    Abstract: A dual-mode radiotelephone terminal includes a .pi./4-shift DQPSK modulator (11). A dual-mode modulation is achieved by mixing an output of a transmitter oscillator (16) with an output of an offset oscillator (18) to form an injection signal (LO) at a final transmitter frequency, the injection signal being further modulated with a quadrature modulator in a digital mode of operation. In an analog mode of operation the transmitter oscillator or the offset oscillator is frequency modulated and the quadrature modulator is disabled with a bias signal, thereby passing the frequency modulated injection signal without substantial attenuation. The LO signal is regenerated and also phase shifted with a circuit (35) having a frequency multiplier (30) and a frequency divider (34). The circuit outputs two local oscillator (LO) signals (LOA and LOB), each of which directly drives an associated quadrature mixer (36, 38) of the modulator.
