Patent number: 6081694Abstract: Disclosed is a transmitter for switching and transmitting signals of plural frequency bands. For example, the signals of two frequency bands are switched and transmitted. For the transmission in a first frequency band, of transistors 104, 105 are turned off, whereby a power amplifying transistor 102 is matched by an input wide band matching circuit 101 and an output main matching circuit 103, so that the high efficiency linear amplification is accomplished. For the transmission in a second frequency band, the transistor 104 is turned on while the transistor 105 is turned off, whereby the power amplifying transistor 102 is matched by a capacitance 108 as well as the input wide band matching circuit 101 and the output main matching circuit 103, so that the high efficiency linear amplification is accomplished. An external switch for switching the matching circuits is thus unnecessary.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 1998Date of Patent: June 27, 2000Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toru Matsuura, Kaoru Ishida, Hiroaki Kosugi, Youichi Morinaga
