Abstract:
Disclosed is a transmitter for switching and transmitting signals of plural frequency bands. For example, the signals of two frequency bands are switched and transmitted. For the transmission in a first frequency band, of transistors 104, 105 are turned off, whereby a power amplifying transistor 102 is matched by an input wide band matching circuit 101 and an output main matching circuit 103, so that the high efficiency linear amplification is accomplished. For the transmission in a second frequency band, the transistor 104 is turned on while the transistor 105 is turned off, whereby the power amplifying transistor 102 is matched by a capacitance 108 as well as the input wide band matching circuit 101 and the output main matching circuit 103, so that the high efficiency linear amplification is accomplished. An external switch for switching the matching circuits is thus unnecessary.

Abstract:
A transmitter circuit includes a first synthesizer section, and a second synthesizer section which consumes less current than the first synthesizer section. The transmitter circuit performs switching such that the first synthesizer section is operated and the second synthesizer section is powered off in polar modulation, and the second synthesizer section is operated and the first synthesizer section is powered off in quadrature modulation, thereby reducing consumed power. While the first synthesizer section is operating, calibration for an oscillation frequency is performed, and when the operation is stopped, a calibration value is stored. When an operation of the first synthesizer section is restarted, the stored calibration value is corrected by using temperature change, thereby enhancing calibration accuracy and preventing degradation in quality of a transmission signal.

A radio transmission apparatus according to the present invention detects an output current of a power supply section that varies in response to a variation of the output impedance of an amplification section, and corrects a distortion of the input/output characteristic of the amplification section by using an LUT corresponding to the detected output current. In addition, a threshold used for switching an LUT is caused to be different depending on a switching direction between LUTs, thereby suppressing frequent occurrence of switching of the LUT.
