The present invention provides a transmitter conforming to the EER method in a wide frequency band at high efficiency. For this purpose, the amplitude component of a modulated signal is input to the power supply terminal of a high-frequency power amplifier 130, the I and Q quadrature signals thereof are input to the high-frequency input terminal of the high-frequency power amplifier 130, and the original modulated signal is obtained from the output of the high-frequency power amplifier 130. A collector voltage is supplied from DC-DC converter group 615 having output voltages being different sequentially to an emitter follower 729 via a switch group 621. One of the outputs of the DC-DC converters 616 to 620 is selected depending on the level of the amplitude component as the collector voltage and supplied to the emitter follower, whereby the difference between the emitter voltage of he emitter follower 729 and the collector voltage of the emitter follower 729 is made smaller and the efficiency of the emitter follower 729 is raised; furthermore, the power supply voltage of the high-frequency power amplifier 130 is voltage-converted by the emitter follower 729, whereby operation in a wide frequency band is made possible.

A fractional frequency divider (28) includes a latch (31) for holding frequency division data, a ΔΣ modulator (33), a digital dither circuit (32) for receiving a digital input F representing fraction part of the frequency division data from the latch (31) and supplying a digital output alternately changing between F+k and F−k (where k is an integer) or a F value itself to the ΔΣ modulator (33), and circuit means (34 through 38) for executing fractional frequency division based on integer part (M value) of the frequency division data and an output of the ΔΣ modulator (33). The digital dither circuit (32) is useful for suppressing a spurious signal generated as a result of concentration of quantization noise at a particular frequency when the ΔΣ modulator (33) receives a particular F value (e.g., F=2n−1).

An object is to achieve reduction of a spurious in a delta-sigma type fraction division PLL synthesizer. In its configuration, first and second L-value accumulators 31 and 30 are provided. The difference between overflow signals 16 and 17 of the first and the second L-value accumulators 31 and 30 is acquired by an adder 29, so that in response to an output signal of the adder 29, a division ratio of a variable divider 2 having a division ratio switchable between M, M+1, and M−1 is switched. By virtue of this, the frequency of a spurious generated by operation noise of the first and the second L-value accumulators 31 and 30 is shifted to a frequency component higher than the prior art so that the spurious is removed by a loop filter (low pass filter) 5.
