摘要： A variable gain amplifier of low amplitude distortion, and low noise, having a large variable range, is provided. A variable gain differential amplifier that controls a gain by use of bias current is used as each of unit amplifiers (VGAs) making up the variable gain amplifier. A large variable gain range is obtained by series-connecting a plurality of the variable gain differential amplifiers. An attenuator is installed on the input side of the unit amplifier (VGA) at least in the initial stage. By doing so, it becomes possible to prevent amplitude distortion from occurring to the respective VGAs. An attenuator utilizing voltage division by capacitors, generating no noise, is used for lowering noise. Further, the variable gain amplifier is provided with a fixed gain amplifier installed in the final stage as necessary in order to obtain a total gain as desired. With the use of the variable gain amplifier as a variable gain amplifier for output power control of a polar loop transmitter, an excellent function for output power control can be achieved without causing significant deterioration in distortion characteristic and noise characteristic thereof.

摘要： When a transmitting oscillator is built in a communication semiconductor integrated circuit device like a high-frequency IC constituting a wireless communication system, the system prevents degradation of the accuracy of control on the output power of a power amplifier due to noise jumped from an output pin of the transmitting oscillator to an input pin for a detected signal (feedback signal) of an output level of the power amplifier. The transmitting oscillator is built in the high-frequency IC. The detected signal of the output level of the power amplifier, which is detected by a coupler, is attenuated to a level slightly higher than the level of noise jumped from the output pin of the transmitting oscillator to the input pin for a feedback signal of an amplitude control loop, which in turn is inputted to the feedback signal input pin of the high-frequency IC.

摘要： A transmitter has a transmission modulator including first and second modulators, a phase comparator and a controller. First and second non-inverted local signals supplied to the modulators are set to have a predetermined phase difference. In a calibration action for reducing carrier leakage, the phase comparator is supplied with the first or second local signals, and carrier signals leaking at an output of the transmission modulator. The controller keeps changing the ratio of DC biasing currents to paired transistors of each modulator until the predetermined phase difference is detected with the phase comparator. When the predetermined phase difference is detected, the controller stops changing the ratio of DC biasing currents. The chip footprint of a transmitter on the direct up-conversion (DUC) architecture is reduced, and carrier leakage owing to local signals supplied to the transmission modulator are decreased.

摘要： The present invention provides a semiconductor integrated circuit for communication (radio frequency IC) capable of detecting and correcting variations in an amplitude loop band of a transmission circuit having a phase control loop and an amplitude control loop without using an external measuring apparatus. In a semiconductor integrated circuit for communication (radio frequency IC) including a transmission circuit having a phase control loop for controlling the phase of a carrier wave and an amplitude control loop for controlling the amplitude of a transmission output signal, a calibration circuit for detecting variations in a loop gain of the amplitude control loop and correcting the loop band is provided. The calibration circuit detects variations in a loop gain by comparing a feedback signal with an output signal of a modulation circuit while changing electric parameters of any of circuits on the amplitude control loop step by step, and corrects the loop band by changing characteristics of any of the circuits on the amplitude control loop in accordance with the detected variations.
