摘要:
A transmitter is provided which includes a transmitting circuit that does not require a high-performance low noise VCO restricting cost reduction thereof and that can reduce the number of parts without requiring an RF filter. A direct conversion that does not require a transmission VCO is applied to the transmitting circuit. In order to achieve noise reduction in a receiving band, low-pass filters are provided a IQ input sections of a modulator that converts IQ signals into RF signals. In comparison with a conventional transmitter using offset PLL, an external VCO required in addition to an RF integrated circuit, a power amplifier, and a front end circuit is reduced. Even in current transistor performance, by using a filter having rapid waveform characteristics such as a SAW more inexpensive than the VCO, or the like, it is possible to provide a GSM/GSM 1800/GSM1900 triple band transmitter.

In a PLL circuit, and a wireless mobile station with that PLL circuit, an LPF charging constant current source, a discharging constant current source and a high-speed charging constant current source are connected to an output terminal of a phase comparator with current mode output. When a convergence frequency of the PLL circuit is low, an input voltage of a VCO is increased from OV so as to be converged by using the constant current source. However, when the convergence frequency of the PLL circuit is high, the input voltage of the PLL circuit is temporarily increased to the maximum voltage by using the constant current source. Thereafter, the input voltage is gradually dropped from the maximum voltage so as to be converged by using the constant current source.

A gain of a variable gain amplifier when it is detected from an output of the comparator that the amplitudes of the reference signal and the feedback signal are equal to each other while a predetermined DC voltage is applied to an amplifier which amplifies an output of a transmission oscillation circuit and is controlled by the amplitude control loop to vary the gain of the variable gain amplifier on a feedback path is held in a register.

A transmitter that can reduce noise without using an SAW filter whose IC integration is hard, and copes with two modulation formats of constant envelope modulation and non-constant envelope modulation, and a downsized and low-cost wireless communication apparatus that uses the transmitter are provided. The transmitter includes a quadrature modulator that modulates an input signal by quadrature modulation, a first amplifier that amplifies a modulation signal outputted by the quadrature modulator, and a second amplifier that amplifies an output signal of the first amplifier. The first amplifier operates as a limiter when the modulation format is the constant envelope modulation, and performs linear operation when the modulation format is the non-constant envelope modulation.
