摘要:
In a radio apparatus, the band of a loop filter of a synthesizer in a blank channel searching state is narrower than the band in a communicating state. In addition, a radio wave environment is measured. A characteristic necessary for the radio apparatus is determined corresponding to the measured-radio wave environment. The power is controlled corresponding to the performance of the radio apparatus. Thus, the power consumption is decreased. In addition, the efficiency of the output power is improved. In the radio apparatus, the current consumption of a power amplifier PA is measured. A matching circuit (LNA or MIX) of the antenna is adjusted with the measured result so as to decrease an antenna loss. In the radio apparatus, a DC offset is removed from the transmitted power and the reflected wave. When the DC offset is removed using an AC coupling capacitor, the deterioration of the frequency characteristic of the receiving portion is compensated with a capacitor in a digital signal process. In the radio apparatus, a transmission power detecting portion is structured as an IC chip. The transmission power detecting portion detects the transmission power corresponding to leakage currents in the power supply of the IC chip and the ground. Thus, when the power is detected, a power loss is suppressed. Consequently, the power consumption of the radio apparatus can be decreased.

A frequency converter converts a first current signal having a first frequency into a second current signal having a second frequency different fro the first frequency. The frequency converter includes an adder and a switching circuit. The adder adds the first current signal and a reference current signal to output a third current signal. The switching circuit passes only that portion of the third current signal larger in magnitude than a threshold current to output the second current signal.

A frequency converter includes a multiplying circuit, a load circuit, and an output buffer circuit. The multiplying circuit is arranged to multiply an RF signal and an LO signal and output a difference frequency signal with a frequency, which is the difference between the frequencies of the two signals, from its output terminal. The load circuit is arranged to connect the output terminal of the multiplying circuit to a power supply. The output buffer circuit is arranged to have an input terminal connected to the output terminal of the multiplying circuit, and an output terminal for outputting a signal to the next stage. A notch circuit for removing an undesired signal frequency component is combined in the load circuit. The notch circuit has an impedance characteristic in which the impedance is abruptly reduced to provide a valley point at the undesired signal frequency.

The variable gain circuit comprises a gain control signal correction circuit which corrects a gain control signal Vx to obtain a corrected gain control signal Vy and a variable gain amplifier which controls the gain in accordance with the corrected gain control signal Vy. The gain control signal correction circuit has input/output characteristic of: Vy=Vt×ln{exp (b×Vx/Vt)−1}, where, Vt is a thermal voltage, and b≧0. The transfer function (gain) from the input signal current Isig to the output signal current Ia of the variable gain amplifier is represented by: Ia/Isig=1/[1+exp (Vx/Vt)]. Thus, the gain can be controlled in exponential function to the gain control signal Vx.

A GaAs MESFET that turns on and off to control the gain is connected to an attenuation circuit composed of a plurality of resistors connected between the input and output terminals and a reference potential terminal. By injecting a specific amount of current into the gate of the FET, the voltage between the gate and the source and drain is turned into the ON-state voltage of the Schottky junction determined by the injected current and the cross section of the FET, thereby turning on the FET. By applying a voltage lower than the threshold voltage between the gate and the source and drain of FET, the FET is turned on.

A local signal of a predetermined frequency is supplied to an input terminal of a local signal input section. The local signal is applied to a control input terminal of a variable current supply and, in accordance with the local signal, a current is output from a variable current supply and sent to a phase-shifting section. The phase-shifting section includes two resonance circuits each comprised of a capacitor and inductor. The two resonance circuits are connected in parallel with a linear element constituting the local signal input section to output first and second output signals of the same frequency as that of the local signal and whose phases are shifted by a predetermined amount. The respective output signals of the phase-shifting section are output to a next stage through a signal output section comprised of two sets each of a current supply and transistor.

A local signal of preset frequency is supplied to an input terminal of a signal input section. The local signal is supplied to a control input terminal of a variable current source, a current corresponding to the local signal is output from the variable current source, and the current is supplied to a phase shifting section. The phase shifting section includes an integrator constructed by a capacitor and a resistor connected in series and a differentiator constructed by a resistor and a capacitor connected in parallel. As parallely connecting the phase shifting circuit with a linear element of which the signal input section consists, the phase shifting section outputs first and second output signals which has the same frequency as the local signal and whose phases are different from each other by 90.degree.. The output signals of the phase shifting section are output to the next stage via an orthogonal signal output section constructed by current source and transistors.
