Patent number: 10587151Abstract: A wireless transmission device includes an input terminal, control terminals, an amplifying circuit, a matching circuit, and an output terminal coupled to the output of the matching circuit. The amplifying circuit includes unit amplifiers and capacitive elements. Each unit amplifier includes a sub-input terminal, a sub-control terminal, and a sub-output terminal. The sub-input terminal is coupled to the input terminal, the sub-control terminal is coupled to the corresponding control terminal in the control terminals, and the sub-output terminal is coupled to the input of the matching circuit through the corresponding capacitive element in the capacitive elements in series. Each unit amplifier includes a tri-state-type class-D amplifier. The sub-output terminal of each unit amplifier is set to a low level state, a high level state, or a high impedance state based on a control signal supplied to the sub-control terminal or an input signal supplied to the sub-input terminal.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2019Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Assignee: RENESAS ELECTRONICS CORPORATIONInventor: Tomoumi Yagasaki

Patent number: 9099964Abstract: Disclosed is a high-frequency signal processing device capable of reducing transmission power variation and harmonic distortion. For example, the high-frequency signal processing device includes a pre-driver circuit, which operates within a saturation region, and a final stage driver circuit, which operates within a linear region and performs a linear amplification operation by using an inductor having a high Q-value. The pre-driver circuit suppresses the amplitude level variation of a signal directly modulated, for instance, by a voltage-controlled oscillator circuit. Harmonic distortion components (2HD and 3HD), which may be generated by the pre-driver circuit, are reduced, for instance, by the inductor of the final stage driver circuit.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2014Date of Patent: August 4, 2015Assignee: RENESAS ELECTRONICS CORPORATIONInventor: Tomoumi Yagasaki
