Abstract:
A current control circuit (5) recognizes whether or not a transmission signal is transmitted based on a control signal outputted from a transmission signal control circuit (4). When the transmission signal is transmitted, the current control circuit (5) controls a current flowing into a reception circuit (3) in accordance with control information representing any of at least two modes where the transmission signal is transmitted. When no transmission signal is transmitted, the current control circuit (5) controls the current flowing into the reception circuit (3) in accordance with control information representing a mode where no transmission signal is transmitted.

Abstract:
An object of the invention is to provide a receiving circuit where the quality of reception can be prevented from deteriorating when the gain changes, so that the good quality of the received signal can be preserved, as well as a receiving apparatus and a transmitting/receiving apparatus using the receiving circuit. In the configuration of the invention, a switch (113) is converted to a short state in response to a change in the gain of a variable gain amplifier (107) by means of a gain control apparatus 112, and thereby, the output terminal of a high pass filter (111) is fixed at a reference voltage and the cutoff frequency of a low pass filter (108) is increased. As a result, the period during which the DC voltage has transient response properties in the low pass filter (108) can be shortened, and this transient response prevented from passing through the high pass filter (111).

A small-size transmission circuit is provided which outputs a transmission signal having high linearity independently of a magnitude of an output power, and operates with high efficiency. A signal generating section generates quadrature data based on input data. A computation section compares an amplitude component of the quadrature data with a predetermined amplitude threshold value, and outputs an amplitude signal, a first phase signal, and a second phase signal. A regulator outputs a voltage controlled depending on the amplitude signal. An angle modulation section and an angle modulation section angle-modulate the phase signal to output first and second angle-modulated signals. An amplitude modulation section and an amplitude modulation section amplitude-modulate the first and second angle-modulated signals using a voltage controlled depending on the amplitude signal to output the angle-modulated and amplitude-modulated signals as a first modulated signal and a second modulated signal. A combining section combines the first and second modulated signals to output a transmission signal.

Abstract:
Provided is a frequency modulation circuit 1 for outputting a highly precise frequency-modulated signal regardless of variation in a characteristic of a VCO 15. A correction value calculation section 17 calculates a correction value Vt2 based on a voltage value (Vtx−Vt1) resulting from subtracting a control voltage Vt1, which is generated by a control voltage generation section 11, from a control voltage Vtx at which a sensitivity of the VCO 15 is maximized. A variable amplifier 18 amplifies the correction value Vt2. An addition section 13 outputs a control voltage Vt3, which results from adding the amplified correction value Vt2 to the control voltage Vt1, to the VCO 15 via a DAC 14.

Abstract:
A transmission modulation apparatus capable of dealing with characteristic variations of a high-frequency power amplifier without always forming an amplitude loop. Transmission modulation apparatus 100 is configured with level detector 140 that receives input of a level detection control signal and detects the output signal of high-frequency power amplifier 130, and offset voltage correcting section 150 that corrects an offset voltage using collinear approximation including a first point where the relationship between the power supply voltage value and the output voltage starts to shift from linear to non-linear based on an output signal of level detector 140 and a second point where output voltage is a minimum. Offset voltage correction is adaptively executed, and linearity between the voltage value of the baseband amplitude signal and the output voltage of high-frequency power amplifier 130 when the voltage value of the baseband amplitude signal is low is compensated.
Abstract:
A transmission circuit is provided which can quickly and accurately control an output power of a transmission signal even when the transmission signal is output at a high modulation rate and in a wide dynamic range. A switching control section controls a modulation method changing section to change a modulation method of a modulated signal generating section to a modulation method having a narrow dynamic range before controlling a switching section to switch amplification sections. An output adjustment control section controls output adjusting sections so that a difference in level between a transmission signal which is smoothed by a smoothing circuit and is before the amplification sections are switched, and a transmission signal which is after the amplification sections are switched, is caused to be smaller than a predetermined difference threshold value, when the modulated signal generating section operates in the modulation method having the narrow dynamic range.
