  • Publication number: 20040212432
    Abstract: In a radio communication system wherein the detection of output level required for feedback control of output power is carried out by current detection, the stability of control loop and the response to change in request-to-send level are enhanced. An electronic component for high frequency power amplifier carries out the detection of output level, required for feedback control of the output power of a high frequency power amplification circuit, by current detection. The electronic component has an error amplifier. The error amplifier compares an output level detection signal with an output level instruction signal, and generates a signal for controlling the gain of the high frequency power amplification circuit according to the difference between them. For the error amplifier, a low-pass amplification circuit is used. The amplification circuit is provided with between its output terminal and its inverting input terminal with a phase compensation circuit.

  • Publication number: 20040135633
    Abstract: The present invention provides a high frequency power amplification circuit capable of preventing an output power and current consumption from being largely changed even when a load fluctuates in a wireless communication system for detecting an output level necessary for feedback control by a current detecting method. In a high frequency power amplification circuit as a component of a wireless communication system which detects an output level necessary for feedback control by a current detecting method, a capacitative element is interposed between the drain terminal of a power amplification transistor in the final stage and the gate terminal of a transistor constructing a current mirror circuit in a circuit for detecting an output level, and a change in an output power accompanying load fluctuation is reflected in a detection current of the output level detecting circuit.

  • Publication number: 20040075515
    Abstract: A high frequency power amplifying device has two amplifying lines. Each amplifying line has a configuration in which a plurality of amplifying stages are connected in cascade having two source voltage terminals, of which one is connected to the first amplifying stage of one amplifying line and to the remaining amplifying stages of the other amplifying line, and the other, to the first amplifying stage of the latter amplifying line and to the remaining amplifying stages of the former amplifying line. An air core coil with a low D.C. resistance, formed by spirally winding a copper wire of about 0.1 mm in diameter, is connected in series between the final amplifying stage of each amplifying line and the source voltage terminal. Since there is no signal leak in each amplifying line from the final amplifying stage to the first amplifying stage and the D.C. resistance of the air core coil is low, oscillation margin can be improved.
