    摘要: Disclosed are a semiconductor integrated circuit device and a wireless communication system that are capable of improving reception sensitivity. The wireless communication system includes, for instance, a first duplexer, a second duplexer, a first low-noise amplifier circuit, and a second low-noise amplifier circuit. A transmission band compliant with a communication standard is split into two segments for use, namely, low- and high-frequency transmission bands. A reception band compliant with the communication standard is split into two segments for use, namely, low- and high-frequency reception bands. The first duplexer uses the low-frequency transmission band and low-frequency reception band as passbands. The second duplexer uses the high-frequency transmission band and high-frequency reception band as passbands. A signal received from the first duplexer and a signal received from the second duplexer are respectively amplified by the first and the second low-noise amplifier circuits, which are respectively provided to handle such signals.

    摘要: There are provided a transmitter and a wireless communication terminal apparatus using the same for solving a problem of undesired spurs due to harmonics of an output signal of a frequency synthesizer, and further solving a problem of the undesired spurs occurring when the harmonics of an output signal of a crystal oscillator are mixed into a VCO to facilitate to design a circuit or a mounting substrate. The transmitter has a relationship between an output frequency of a PLL frequency conversion circuit (5) and output frequencies of frequency synthesizers (1, 2) stored therein, and the output frequencies of the frequency synthesizers (1, 2) input into the PLL frequency conversion circuit (5) are controlled on the basis of the relationship so that the undesired spurs are suppressed. Thereby, even when the undesired spurs occur in the output of the transmitter due to a crosstalk between circuits or through a substrate, which can be easily suppressed, it is therefore possible to reduce time and cost for redesigning the circuit or the substrate.

    摘要: Disclosed is a direct conversion type transmitter or transceiver circuit suitable for a mobile communication device which corresponds to broad signal output level variable width to be required by W-CDMA, which does not necessitate any high-performance low noise VCO and RF filter, capable of reducing a number of components and the cost. In the input portion of an orthogonal modulator composed of a divider, mixers, and a common load, there are provided variable attenuators. If an input signal level of the orthogonal modulator within the transmitter circuit lowers, this variable attenuator circuit is operated so as to lower the bias of the orthogonal modulator to reduce the amount of occurrence of carrier leak, and to prevent the signal during low output level and carrier leak ratio from being deteriorated. The direct conversion transmitter circuit is capable of easily realizing output level variable width of 70 dB or higher and reducing a variable amount in the high frequency circuit in which it is difficult to secure the variable gain width.

    摘要: In a PLL circuit, the number of LPFs is reduced to one to reduce mounting area and pin number, and to simplify design. In one embodiment, the PLL circuit includes a variable-gain phase comparator, a mixer, an LPF, VCOs, couplers, and a control circuit to controlling the on/off operation of the VCOs. The variable-gain phase comparator is capable of varying a phase difference gain. The on/off of the operation of the VCOs is controlled by the control circuit so that one of the VCOs is turned off. The phase difference conversion gain is varied in accordance with the sensitivity of the VCOs so the number of LPFs required for the PLL circuit can be reduced to only one.

An output of the transconductance amplifier stage is coupled to an output signal line in common. According to a control word WC , the transconductance amplifier stage is enabled selectively, and the output current which appears in the output signal line is added.
