摘要:
The process and apparatus of the present invention limits the output power of a radiotelephone, operating in a cellular system in the preferred embodiment. This ensures the transmitted sidebands and synthesizer phase noise remains within a certain specification. This is accomplished by power detection and a correction accumulator that together generate a gain control signal by limiting the gain adjustment to a maximum value, even when the cell site communicating with the radiotelephone is sending power turn-up commands to the radiotelephone. This process includes dynamically correcting the output level of the transmitter due to gain variations in the transmitter stages or gain control elements.

摘要:
A control circuit for a multi-stage power amplifier (such as in a portable radio transmitter) compensates for fluctuations in ambient temperature, load, signal level and power supply voltage, The control voltage is set by comparing a biasing level which is related to the amplifier input signal level to a voltage proportional to the power supply current of the last stage of the amplifier. The control voltage resulting from the comparison establishes the operating point of the last stage of the power amplifier.

A dual-band antenna system for use in a portable communications device is disclosed herein. The antenna system includes an antenna element for radiating electromagnetic energy within low-band and high-band wavelength ranges. In a preferred embodiment, a low-band isolator network, coupled to the antenna element, provides signal isolation between high-band and low-band signal paths during high-band operation. Similarly, a high-band isolator network provides signal isolation, during operation over the low-band range of wavelengths, between the high-band and low-band signal paths. During transmit and receive operation, low-band and high-band electromagnetic energy directed through the antenna is passed by the low-band and high-band isolator networks, respectively. Also included are low-band and high-band matching networks which couple the low-band and high-band isolator networks to low-band and high-band transceiver circuitry.

An amplifier for a radio transceiver overcomes the problem of gain being dependent on ambient temperature. Transmission power is matched to strength of a received signal by providing matched dual gate FET amplifier stages in both the transmitter and receiver portions of the transceiver. Changes in gain due to temperature are compensated for by detecting changes in the FET drain current by measuring the source voltage of the amplifier. The FET source voltage is compared to a reference voltage, and the output signal resulting from the comparison is provided as a control signal to one of the FET gates.
