    Abstract: A transmitter circuit is provided which is capable of reducing modulation distortion even when an output power of a power amplifying section 141 is low. A signal generation section 11 generates an amplitude signal and a phase signal. A regulator 12 outputs a current based on the amplitude signal. A phase modulation section 13 phase-modulates the phase signal, and outputs a phase-modulated signal. The power amplifying section 141 receives the current which is based on the amplitude signal and supplied as a bias current from the regulator 12, and amplifies the phase-modulated signal by using the supplied current. Further, to the power amplifying section 141, a predetermined DC voltage is supplied as a collector voltage.

    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.

An ADC AD-converts an output signal of the HPFs and thereby outputs a digital reception signal. An AGC controller outputs a gain code corresponding to a prescribed gain of the VGAs. A VGA gain corrector adjusts the gain of the VGAs by a prescribed amount.

    Abstract: Provided is a transmission circuit that operates highly efficiently by avoiding deterioration of the linearity of an output signal and suppressing occurrence of distortion of the output signal, when using the envelope tracking method. In this transmission circuit, offset control section (160) sets voltage that makes the corrected envelope signal level equal to or higher than the delayed envelope signal level, as offset voltage. By this means, the corrected envelope signal level becomes equal to or higher than the delayed envelope signal level, so that it is possible to prevent the power supply voltage from being lower than the optimal power supply voltage, making it possible to prevent the linearity of an output signal from deteriorating in power amplifier (130).
