Abstract:
A high-frequency power amplifying module is provided for a communication device that simultaneously uses at least a radio wave in a first band and a radio wave in a second band, and a first high-frequency power amplifier for the first band and a second high-frequency power amplifier for the second band are mounted. The first band and the second band are frequency bands that produce intermodulation distortion of a frequency included in the receive frequency band of the second band, due to a transmit frequency of the first band received by the first high-frequency power amplifier and a transmit frequency of the second band received h the second high-frequency power amplifier. The second high-frequency power amplifier includes a filter that blocks a signal at the transmit frequency of the first band.
Abstract:
A high frequency power amplifier includes a first high frequency amplifier, a final high frequency amplifier, and a tunable filter. The tunable filter is connected between the first high frequency amplifier and the final high frequency amplifier. The first high frequency amplifier and the final high frequency amplifier are each a multimode/multiband power amplifier. The tunable filter is regulated such that its pass band includes the frequency band of a transmission signal and its attenuation band includes the frequency band of a reception signal in a communication band used in transmission and reception. The pass band and the attenuation band are switched by the tunable filter in accordance with the communication band used in transmission and reception.
Abstract:
A transmission filter allows a signal in the frequency band of a transmission signal to pass through the transmission filter and blocks signals in other frequency bands. The transmission signal output from the transmission filter is supplied to an antenna via an antenna sharing device and transmitted to the outside. A reflected-signal detector senses the amplitude and the phase of a reflected signal from the antenna and outputs detection signals (DA and DP). A control circuit adjusts control signals (CA and CP) on the basis of the detection signals (DA and DP). A cancellation-signal-output circuit adjusts a cancellation signal in such a manner that the cancellation signal has a phase opposite to that of the reflected signal and an amplitude the same as that of the reflected signal by using the control signals (CA and CP). A multiplexer combines the cancellation signal with a received signal including a noise signal.
Abstract:
A radio-frequency circuit includes a first power amplifier that outputs a first transmission signal and a second power amplifier that outputs a second transmission signal having a frequency different from a frequency of the first transmission signal. In a period in which the first transmission signal the second transmission signal are simultaneously outputted, at least one of the first power amplifier or the second power amplifier reduces transmission power of the at least one of the first power amplifier or the second power amplifier to cause a power component of intermodulation distortion superimposed on a transmission signal output from the first power amplifier and the second power amplifier to be less than or equal to a threshold value.

Abstract:
A transmission-reception device includes an antenna duplexer, an antenna, and first and second transmission-reception circuits. A demultiplexer is connected between the first transmission-reception circuit and the antenna duplexer, and a multiplexer is connected between the second transmission-reception circuit and the antenna duplexer. A signal adjusting unit is connected between the demultiplexer and the multiplexer. The amplitude and phase of a third harmonic signal of a first transmission signal reflected by the antenna are detected. The signal adjusting unit adjusts the amplitude and phase of the third harmonic signal demultiplexed by the demultiplexer on the basis of the detection results, and outputs a cancel signal. The multiplexer synthesizes and hence cancels the third harmonic signal reflected by the antenna and the cancel signal with each other.
