To provide a variable gain amplifier capable of correcting a DC offset voltage through simpler control even when a gain thereof is changed. A differential output type variable gain amplifier is equipped with a first voltage correction unit coupled to a preceding stage of a variable gain amplifier circuit and for outputting a first correction voltage to correct a potential difference generated between a first conductor provided with a first input resistor and a second conductor provided with a second input resistor, and a second voltage correction unit coupled to a subsequent stage of the variable gain amplifier circuit and for correcting a differential output. A control unit is configured to control the first correction voltage and a correction amount of a potential difference by the second voltage correction unit and thereby attenuate a DC offset voltage included in the differential output.

The communication device generates the same common key based on the feature element of simultaneously acquirable biological information, and performs encryption and decryption using the common key. The communication device includes a biological information acquiring unit to acquire the feature element of the biological information; a common key generation unit to generate the common key; an encryption/decryption unit to encrypt transmit information and to decrypt receive information with the common key; and a communication unit to receive the transmit information and to transmit the receive information.
Abstract:
There is a need to reduce secondary intermodulation distortion that may occur in a reception circuit of a high-frequency signal processor and a wireless communication system having the same. In test mode, for example, a test signal generating circuit TSGEN generates a test signal RFtst at f_tx±0.5 MHz. The test signal RFtst is input to a mixer circuit MIXrx_I (MIXrx_Q). A correction circuit block CALBK detects an IM2 component resulting from the MIXrx_I (MIXrx_Q). The CALBK varies a differential balance for the MIXrx_I (MIXrx_Q) and concurrently monitors a phase for the IM2 component resulting from MIXrx_I (MIXrx_Q). The CALBK searches for the differential balance corresponding to a transition point that allows the phase to transition by approximately 180°. The MIXrx_I (MIXrx_Q) operates in normal mode using the differential balance as a search result.
