Abstract:
A transmission circuit switches a bias circuit without allowing a power amplifier to enter a non-bias state. A first bias circuit supplies a first bias signal to a power amplifier, and a second bias circuit supplies a second bias signal to the power amplifier. A first delay circuit delays the switching of an operation of the first bias circuit using a first delay time, and a second delay circuit delays the switching of an operation of the second bias circuit using a second delay time. The first bias circuit and the second bias circuit are both simultaneously operated for a predefined time period, in order to prevent a transistor for amplification from entering a non-bias state when switching an operation mode of the power amplifier.

Abstract:
A radio transmission apparatus according to the present invention detects an output current of a power supply section that varies in response to a variation of the output impedance of an amplification section, and corrects a distortion of the input/output characteristic of the amplification section by using an LUT corresponding to the detected output current. In addition, a threshold used for switching an LUT is caused to be different depending on a switching direction between LUTs, thereby suppressing frequent occurrence of switching of the LUT.

Abstract:
A transmission circuit is provided which can quickly and accurately control an output power of a transmission signal even when the transmission signal is output at a high modulation rate and in a wide dynamic range. A switching control section controls a modulation method changing section to change a modulation method of a modulated signal generating section to a modulation method having a narrow dynamic range before controlling a switching section to switch amplification sections. An output adjustment control section controls output adjusting sections so that a difference in level between a transmission signal which is smoothed by a smoothing circuit and is before the amplification sections are switched, and a transmission signal which is after the amplification sections are switched, is caused to be smaller than a predetermined difference threshold value, when the modulated signal generating section operates in the modulation method having the narrow dynamic range.
