摘要:
A transmission circuit is capable of precisely compensating for an offset characteristic of an amplitude modulation section, and operating with low distortion and high efficiency over a wide output electric power range. A signal generation section outputs an amplitude signal and an angle modulation signal. An amplitude amplifying section inputs, to the amplitude modulation section, a signal corresponding to a magnitude of the amplitude signal having been inputted. The amplitude modulation section amplitude-modulates the angle modulation signal with the signal inputted from the amplitude amplifying section, and outputs a resultant signal as a modulation signal. The power measuring section measures an output power of the amplitude modulation section. An offset compensation section reads an offset compensation value from a memory in accordance with the output power of the amplitude modulation section, and adds the read offset compensation value to the amplitude signal.

Drive technology is provided which makes suitable low velocity driving and smooth changing of driving velocity possible and achieves reduced power consumption. In the driving device, the drive unit is driven which engages with drive shaft which moves back and forth in tandem with extension and contraction of the piezoelectric element. In this driving device, when the output cycle for cycle Te is repeated such that the voltages applied to the piezoelectric element 11 are the maximum value (+Vp), the minimum value (−Vp), and the middle value (0V), the movement velocity of the drive unit 13 can be changed by thinning the output cycle at cycle Tf. As a result, suitable low velocity driving can be carried out and power consumption can be reduced in the drive unit.

A polar modulation transmission apparatus for realizing a wide control range for transmission power, maintaining the modulation precision and the distortion characteristic at a superb level even at a low output, and providing a high power efficiency is provided. An adder 102 adds a logarithm-represented transmission power control signal S13 to a logarithm-represented amplitude signal S14, and outputs the resultant signal as a transmission power-controlled amplitude signal S5. A phase modulation section 104 outputs a high frequency phase-modulated signal S8 based on a phase signal S3. An amplitude signal amplifier 103 supplies a supply voltage to a high frequency power amplifier 106 based on an amplitude signal S5. The high frequency power amplifier 106 performs amplitude modulation on the high frequency phase-modulated signal S8 based on the supply voltage supplied thereto, and outputs the resultant signal as a high frequency transmission signal S10.

A determination is made whether a moving speed of a slider section with respect to a rod section in a piezoelectric actuator is lower than a predetermined speed. When the moving speed is lower than the predetermined speed, it is considered that a friction-bonded portion between the rod section and the slider section is in a fastened state or a nearly fastened state. A resonance frequency of the piezoelectric actuator or a frequency proximity to the resonance frequency is set as a driving frequency for the piezoelectric actuator. The slider section is moved in a reciprocating manner plural times with respect to the rod section. As a result, an abnormal state is eliminated from the piezoelectric actuator.

The object of the present invention is to provide a transmitting apparatus and a transmitting power control method that can provide excellent power efficiency and a wide control range of transmitting output power, and a radio communication apparatus employing the transmitting apparatus.At the time of high output power, a high-frequency power amplifier (5) is operated as a nonlinear amplifier, whereby power efficiency when a transmitting signal is power-amplified can be enhanced. Further, at the time of low output power, the high-frequency power amplifier (5) is operated as a linear amplifier, whereby the control range of the transmitting output power can be extended. Still further, when the high-frequency power amplifier (5) is operated as a nonlinear amplifier, by varying the input level of the high-frequency power amplifier (5) according to the average output power of the transmitting signal by the variable gain amplifier (7), it is possible to reduce leak power and to extend the control range of the transmitting output power.

In a first mode in which the power level of a transmission output signal (S6) is to be high, an output from the multiplier (2) is input to an amplitude modulation signal amplifier (4), and a radio frequency power amplifier (5) performs amplitude modulation on a radio frequency phase modulated signal (S4) using a nonlinear area with a supply voltage from the amplitude modulation signal amplifier (4). In a second mode in which the power level of a transmission output signal (S6) is to be low, the output from the multiplier (2) is input to a variable gain amplifier (7), and the variable gain amplifier (7) performs amplitude modulation on the radio frequency phase modulated signal (S4). The amplitude modulated signal is output without passing through the radio frequency power amplifier (5).

In an imaging apparatus such as a digital still camera, a scene is judged with using an image data outputted from an area sensor in a preparation state in which an image displayed on a monitor display serves as a viewfinder, and another image data to be recorded in a recording medium in an image recording mode is compensated corresponding to a result of judgment of the scene. By such the compensation, an image using the image data recorded in the recording medium can properly be reproduced by an image outputting apparatus such as a printer.

A wireless transmission apparatus of multi-mode operation with superior power efficiency is provided. Switches (115 and 117) are switched over in such a manner that a modulation signal outputted from a wireless GSM/EDGE (UB) signal formation circuit (101-3) of a high-frequency signal processing circuit (101) is outputted to a high-frequency power amplifier (104) at the time of output of a GSM modulation signal, and is outputted to a high-frequency amplifier (105) at the time of output of an EDGE modulation signal. As a result, the EDGE modulation signal is power amplified using a high-frequency power amplifier (105) for an UMTS modulation signal use that is compatible with regards to the EDGE modulation signal and the maximum output power and presence or absence of envelope fluctuation. It is therefore possible to amplify the EDGE modulation scheme wireless signal with high efficiency.
