    摘要: The present invention is directed to compensate electric properties of an RF power module depending on changes with time, temperature dependency, variations, and the like of grounded emitter current amplification factor of an HBT. A compound semiconductor integrated circuit supplies reference current of a reference HBT depending on hFE of an HBT to an input terminal of a first current mirror of a bias circuit of a silicon semiconductor integrated circuit. The base of an output HBT of the compound semiconductor integrated circuit is biased with bias current which increases in response to decrease in hFE of the HBT from an output of the first current mirror of the silicon semiconductor integrated circuit.

    摘要: With a dual mode transmitter capable of handling two modulation methods for nonconstant amplitude modulation and constant amplitude modulation, respectively, speed-up of transition between modes is implemented. In a mode handling the constant amplitude modulation, first capacitors included in a low-pass filter constituting an AM loop, and a second capacitor included in an integrator are kept recharged from a first constant-voltage power supply and a second constant-voltage power supply by use of a first switch and a second switch, respectively. By doing so, a value of voltage to be recharged at the time of a mode changeover is decreased, and further, a first variable-gain amplifier starts control of a gain while avoiding a region where the output voltage of the first variable-gain amplifier has slow response against an input voltage.

    摘要: A transmitter employing variable gain amplifiers and operating with both constant and nonconstant envelope modulation systems is contrived to suppress variation in the transmitting power when constant envelope modulation is performed. The transmitter comprises a PM loop, an AM loop, and a variable gain amplifier which is shared by the PM loop and the AM loop and combines phase information that the PM loop outputs and envelope information that the AM loop outputs by gain control. The variable gain amplifier comprises a variable gain amplifier body having a supply voltage terminal and a bias current detection terminal for extracting a bias current corresponding to a gain, wherein the gain changes with a change in the potential of the supply voltage terminal, and a bias control block connected to the supply voltage terminal and the bias current detection terminal. Thereby, a bias control loop is formed to control the bias current so that the gain in the case of constant envelope modulation becomes a predetermined value.

The radio frequency module includes, e.g., a first switch transistor for coupling a transmission node to an antenna, a second switch transistor for shunting the transmission node to a ground voltage, and a level shift circuit for performing on-off control of the first and second switch transistors by positive and negative power supply voltages.

    摘要: There is provided a radio-frequency module and a radio communication system capable of supporting multiple bands at low cost or small size. A high-frequency power amplifier device includes a power amplifier circuit unit for GSM and a control circuit outputting antenna switch control signals with a VSW1 level or a VSW2 level in response to a mode setting signal for selecting GSM or W-CDMA. The VSW2 level is generated by boosting the VSW1 level using a clock signal from an oscillation circuit. When GSM is selected by the mode setting signal, the high-frequency power amplifier device stops the oscillation circuit and outputs the antenna switch control signals of the VSW1 level to an antenna switch device. When W-CDMA is selected by the mode setting signal, the high-frequency power amplifier device outputs the antenna switch control signals of the VSW2 level to the antenna switch device, using the oscillation circuit.

    摘要: An object of the present invention is to provide a transmitter-receiver RF-IC having a built-in regulator, which can reduce a minimum value of an input voltage of the regulator without increasing its area, the input voltage being supplied from a battery, the transmitter-receiver RF-IC being capable of normal operation with the input voltage, whereby the operating time of a mobile terminal can be improved as compared with the prior art. According to the present invention, in order to achieve the above object, an output end of a regulator built into a RF-IC is first led to the outside of the RF-IC. Then, the output end is led to an area in proximity to the circuit block by use of wiring on a mobile terminal substrate whose resistance is low, or by use of wiring on a module whose resistance is low, thereby shortening the wiring length inside the RF-IC.
