Abstract: A method for processing a plurality of signals may include amplifying an input signal and generating a wideband signal from the amplified input signal. The method may further include bandpass filtering the generated wideband signal to generate a narrowband signal, and adjusting amplification of the input signal based on a narrowband received signal strength indication of the generated narrowband signal, and/or a wideband received signal strength indication of the generated wideband signal. The amplified input signal may be downconverted to generate the wideband signal. The amplified input signal may be downconverted to an intermediate frequency (IF) and/or to a baseband signal to generate the wideband signal. At least one blocker signal may be bandpass filtered from the amplified input signal.

Abstract: In a high frequency power amplifier circuit that supplies a bias to an amplifying FET by a current mirror method, scattering of a threshold voltage Vth due to the scattering of the channel impurity concentration of the FET, and a shift of a bias point caused by the scattering of the threshold voltage Vth and a channel length modulation coefficient λ due to a short channel effect are corrected automatically. The scattering of a high frequency power amplifying characteristic can be reduced as a result.

Abstract: In a high frequency power amplifier circuit in which bias voltages are applied to the transistors for amplification by current mirroring, this invention enables preventing waveform distortion near the peak output power level by allowing sufficient idle currents to flow through the transistors for amplification, while enhancing the power efficiency in a low output power region. The power amplifier includes a detection circuit comprising a transistor for detection which receives the AC component of an input signal to the last-stage transistor for amplification at its control terminal, a current mirror circuit which mirrors current flowing through that transistor, and a current-voltage conversion means which converts current flowing in the slave side of the current mirror circuit into a voltage. In the detection circuit, a voltage from a bias circuit for generating the bias voltages for the transistors for amplification is applied to the control terminal of the transistor for detection and output of the detection circuit is applied to the control terminal of the last-stage transistor for amplification.

Abstract: A Variable Gain Amplifier (VGA) amplifies an input signal according to a gain, to produce an amplified signal. A detector module detects a power indicative of a power of the amplified signal. A comparator module compares the detected power to a high threshold, a low threshold and a target threshold intermediate the high and low thresholds. A controller module changes the gain of the VGA so as to drive the detected power in a direction toward the middle threshold when the comparator module indicates the detected power is not between the high and low thresholds.
