  • Frequency transposition method and device, in particular for the control of the transmission power of a cellular mobile telephone
    Patent number: 7738597
    Abstract: A frequency transposition device including an input terminal for receiving an incident signal SI and a modulator of the one-bit delta-sigma type MDU connected to the input terminal. A generator MGN provides a periodic auxiliary signal SAX with a frequency equal to a desired transposition frequency. A frequency transposer of the Gilbert cell type has a signal input BES connected to the output of the generator, a control input BCO connected to the output of the delta-sigma modulator MDU, and an output BS delivering a transposed signal STR.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 8, 2005
    Date of Patent: June 15, 2010
    Assignee: STMicroelectronics
    Inventors: Lydi Smaini, Patrick Cerisier, Philippe Gouessant
  • Process and device for monitoring the transmission power of a mobile terminal, for example a cellular mobile telephone, in particular capable of operating according to the UMTS standard
    Patent number: 7096035
    Abstract: The transmission power of a cellular mobile telephone is adjusted as a function of received power information. The celluar mobile telephone is equipped with a variable-gain amplifier that covers the transmission power range, and the gain and supply voltage of the amplifier are tuned as a function of the received power information.
