  • Patent number: 8340119
    Abstract: A modulator modulates the packet data signal. A correction unit 18 adjusts the amplitude component of the modulated data signal. An amplifier amplifies the adjusted data signal and outputs the data signal. A control unit controls the operation of the amplifier. The control unit turns on the operation of the amplifier at the header timing of a packet. The amplifier generates a transient response in the header part of the packet when the amplifier is turned on. In accordance with the inverse characteristic of the transient response generated in the amplifier, the correction unit adjusts the amplitude component of the modulated data signal.

  • Patent number: 7373126
    Abstract: The gain control signal generating unit generates a gain control signal, using a signal yielding the greatest level among signals of the respective signal processing units. The gain standardizing unit stores, in the offset storage units, offsets corresponding to gain deviations occurring in the respective signal processing units when gains of the variable gain amplifiers are uniformly controlled using the gain control signal. The offsets are added to the gain control signal for each signal processing unit, and the variable gain amplifiers are controlled, using the respective offset-added gain control signals. Under the control of the calibration control unit, the calibration signal supply unit and offset determining unit supply a calibration signal and a gain control signal for calibration, respectively. The offset determining unit determines offsets to standardize the levels of signals of the signal processing units, and updates the offsets storage units with the determined offsets.
