  • Publication number: 20130242809
    Abstract: In a tunable duplexer combining a tunable filter with a canceler, calibration for optimizing passband characteristics and stop band characteristics is accelerated, and the deterioration of performance due to variations is highly accurately compensated. The tunable filter is calibrated to acquire isolation characteristics, and then coarse calibration and fine calibration are performed on the canceler. In coarse calibration, the use band of the tunable filter is set to a suppression band, and the isolation characteristics of the canceler are acquired. An amplitude, a phase, and a bias voltage are adjusted based on a result of comparison with the acquired isolation characteristics of the tunable filter for determining an approximate convergence. Fine calibration is further performed, and the optimum point is determined in a narrow range near the convergence.

  • Publication number: 20120163245
    Abstract: A tunable filter has an out-of-band signal suppression amount of 30 dB that is smaller than 50 dB, the suppression amount of a typical duplexer. Thus, a canceller having a suppression amount of about 20 dB is necessary (particularly, a method is provided to obtain a suppression amount over a wide band without being adversely affected by the group delay characteristics and frequency characteristics of an amplifier included in a canceller). Delay devices corresponding to the group delay of the amplifier are disposed on the signal path of the tunable filter. The canceller includes a matching circuit that adjusts an amplitude, a phase, and a delay, a wide-band amplifier that has small amplitude fluctuations and small phase fluctuations over the frequency bands of a transmission signal and a reception signal, a variable-impedance transmission coupler, and a variable-impedance reception coupler.

  • Publication number: 20120094617
    Abstract: A tunable filter in a tunable DPX module has frequency characteristics, and thus needs to be controlled with high accuracy so as to simultaneously cancel a transmission signal and noise in a reception band on a transmission side. For this reason, a canceller includes a filter having the same frequency characteristic as that of a tunable filter, and a structure having functions of compensating for an amplitude, a phase, and a delay. And, two lines of the cancellers are used to individually cancel a leak component of a transmission signal and a leak component of thermal noise in a reception band. In order to save the power consumption of the amplifier, a coupler is loosely coupled, and a combiner is tightly coupled. Further, in order to suppress the influence on a reception system due to the tough coupling, the combiner uses the amplifier for in-phase inputs.

  • Patent number: 7945232
    Abstract: When switching over from a portable telephone system of 800 MHz band to a UWB communication system of 9 GHz band, depending upon a signal for changing over a high pass filter and a low pass filter, a reactance element, which is determined to be matching with a load Z of the high pass filter, is connected to an output terminal of a transmitting power amplifier. With this, it is possible to achieve a multi-band or multi-mode wireless receiver of using a frequency band from 800 MHz to 10 GHz, without an enlargement of a circuit scale and an increase of costs.
