  • Publication number: 20080175335
    Abstract: Provided is a transmission circuit which is capable of compensating for an offset voltage and a sensitivity characteristic of a PA, and operating with low distortion and high efficiency. A regulator 18 supplies, to a PA 201, a voltage which is controlled in accordance with an amplitude signal to which a first offset value has been added. A regulator 19 supplies, to a PA 202, a voltage which is controlled in accordance with an amplitude signal to which a second offset value has been added. The PA 201 amplifies, in accordance with the voltage supplied from the regulator 18, a phase-modulated signal outputted from a phase modulator 13. The PA 202 amplifies, in accordance with the voltage supplied from the regulator 19, an output signal of the PA 201. A digital block 11 controls the first and second offset values in accordance with temperature information T measured by a temperature measuring section 21.

  • Publication number: 20080160934
    Abstract: A polar modulation transmission apparatus is disclosed, which reduces the circuit scale by removing isolators and which reduces the heat loss of a power amplifier. In this apparatus, current detecting section 130 detects current value Icc of current flowing from power supply voltage section 120 to power amplifier 180, and power control section 140 outputs control signal S31 to power apply section 150 based on power control signal S30 to be inputted and current value Icc. Power apply section 150 forms amplitude modulation signal S13 by multiplying baseband amplitude modulation signal S11 by control signal S31, and regulator 160 supplies to power amplifier 180 power supply voltage S22 converted into power supply voltage S21 by amplitude modulation signal S13. Power amplifier 180 obtains RF transmission signal S15 by amplifying the power of phase modulation high-frequency signal S14 as the power supply of power supply voltage S22.

  • Publication number: 20070205843
    Abstract: A phase modulation section (101) generates a first modulated signal including phase information. An amplitude signal control section (103) generates a second modulated signal including amplitude information. A waveform shaping section (104), when an amplitude of the second modulated signal is larger than a regulated value generates a waveform-shaped modulated signal. An amplitude modulated voltage supply section (105) amplifies the waveform-shaped modulated signal based on the supply voltage from a voltage control section (106) and supplies the amplified signal to a power amplification section (102). The power amplification section (102) amplifies the first modulated signal based on the amplitude modulated voltage, and outputs the resultant signal.

  • Publication number: 20070129032
    Abstract: A transmission circuit is provided which can output a stable transmission signal independently of the temperature characteristics of an amplitude modulating section. A signal generating section generates an amplitude signal and a phase signal. A regulator supplies a voltage which is controlled, depending on the amplitude signal, to the amplitude modulating section. An angle modulating section subjects the phase signal to angle modulation to output an angle-modulated signal. A temperature detecting section outputs temperature information of the amplitude modulating section. A gain control section controls a gain of a variable gain amplifier based on the temperature information of the amplitude modulating section. The variable gain amplifier amplifies the angle-modulated signal using the gain controlled by the gain control section.

  • Patent number: 7199652
    Abstract: The present invention provides an amplifier for amplifying a high-frequency signal and outputting an amplified signal. The amplifier includes: an amplification element which is a bipolar transistor or a field-effect transistor; and an inductor connected between a base and a collector or between a gate and a drain of the amplification element. The inductance of the inductor is chosen so that, within a predetermined frequency range, a parallel resonance occurs with a parasitic capacitor of the amplification element and an intrinsic capacitor of the amplification element, the intrinsic capacitor being a base-collector capacitance or a gate-drain capacitance.

  • Publication number: 20060293005
    Abstract: A wireless transmission apparatus of multi-mode operation with superior power efficiency is provided. Switches (115 and 117) are switched over in such a manner that a modulation signal outputted from a wireless GSM/EDGE (UB) signal formation circuit (101-3) of a high-frequency signal processing circuit (101) is outputted to a high-frequency power amplifier (104) at the time of output of a GSM modulation signal, and is outputted to a high-frequency amplifier (105) at the time of output of an EDGE modulation signal. As a result, the EDGE modulation signal is power amplified using a high-frequency power amplifier (105) for an UMTS modulation signal use that is compatible with regards to the EDGE modulation signal and the maximum output power and presence or absence of envelope fluctuation. It is therefore possible to amplify the EDGE modulation scheme wireless signal with high efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20060159198
    Abstract: An amplifier includes a modulation coder receiving an original modulation signal and generating an amplitude signal and a phase signal, a voltage adjusting instrument which generates an amplitude modulation signal from the amplitude signal, a carrier generator generating a phase modulation signal from the phase signal, and an amplification device receiving the phase modulation signal and the amplitude modulation signal serving as a bias voltage and outputting a modulation signal obtained by restoring and amplifying the original modulation signal. The voltage adjusting instrument determines a DC offset voltage on the basis of a level control signal indicating the level of the amplitude modulation signal and generates the amplitude modulation signal to which the DC offset voltage is added.

  • Patent number: 6980057
    Abstract: In a power amplifier of the present invention, distributed constant lines 105a and 105b have a total line length corresponding to a ½ wavelength of a fundamental wave so as to invert the phase of a fundamental wave component of a first signal amplified by a first amplification element 102a. A series resonant circuit 106 is connected a tone end between the distributed constant lines 105a and 105b, which invert the phase of a second-order harmonic component, so as to be in parallel connection with the distributed constant lines 105a and 105b. Further, the series resonant circuit 106 is connected at the other end to an output side of the second amplification element 102b. The series resonant circuit 106 resonates with a second-order harmonic frequency, thereby canceling out the second-order harmonic component.
