Abstract: When a signal of GSM 900 frequency band is transmitted, a bias voltage setting circuit sets an optimum bias voltage for the GSM 900 frequency band to a first stage amplifier and a second stage amplifier. The transmission signal is amplified by the two amplifiers. A signal that is output from the second stage amplifier is supplied to a low-pass filter. The low-pass filter attenuates unnecessary radiation waves from the transmission signal. A GSM 900 frequency band amplifier amplifies the output signal of the low-pass filter and outputs the amplified signal. When a signal of DCS 1800 frequency band is transmitted, the bias voltage setting circuit sets an optimum bias voltage for the DCS 1800 frequency band to the first stage amplifier and the second stage amplifier. A DCS 1800 frequency band amplifier amplifies an output signal of the second stage amplifier and outputs the amplified signal.

Abstract: A transmission circuit includes first and second amplifiers, a bandpass filter, a phase adjuster, and a signal combiner. The first and second amplifiers independently amplify input signals in different transmission frequency bands. The first amplifier in the ON state produces an unnecessary radiant wave in a frequency band substantially coinciding with the transmission frequency band of the second amplifier in the OFF state. The bandpass filter extracts a component in the same frequency band as that of an unnecessary radiant wave leaking out from the second amplifier during operation of the first amplifier. A phase adjuster adjusts the phase of an output signal from the bandpass filter such that the phase of the output signal from the bandpass filter becomes opposite to that of an unnecessary radiant wave in an output signal from the first amplifier. The signal combiner combines an output signal from the phase adjuster with the output signal from the first amplifier.

Abstract: A game system, program and image generation method can generate a realistic image with reduced processing load. An image of a geometry-processed object OB is temporarily drawn in an intermediate buffer and then drawn in a frame buffer. A primitive surface PS, of which drawing position DP is specified based on the three-dimensional information of the object OB and on which the image of the intermediate buffer is mapped, is drawn in the frame buffer. When a plurality of primitive surfaces corresponding to a plurality of objects are to be drawn in the frame buffer, the hidden-surface removal is performed based on the depth value of each of the primitive surfaces. A shadow is represented by drawing a plurality of primitive surfaces, of which drawing positions are specified based on the three-dimensional information of one object, into the frame buffer.

Abstract: A dual-band transceiver operable in two different bands is disclosed. A local oscillator generates a fundamental frequency and a second harmonic frequency. A receiving circuit receives a high-frequency signal in a selected one of the two different bands using the fundamental frequency and a transmitting circuit transmits a high-frequency signal in a selected one of the two different bands using the second harmonic frequency. A transmitting operation in the first band is performed in a time period while a receiving operation in the second band is performed in the time period. A received signal obtained by the receiving operation in the second band in the time period can be used to measure a radio condition of the second band during communication in the first band.
