    摘要: From the data of diffusion-length-dependent parameters extracted from the parameters of the transistor model of MOS transistors and from the parameters of transistors having various diffusion lengths, a diffusion-length-dependent parameter correcting unit creates approximate expressions of the diffusion length dependence of these parameters, and calculates parameter correction values to be used instead of original parameter values by using the created approximate expressions. Hence, the correction values can be used easily instead of the original parameter values, whereby a transistor model of MOS transistors having a different diffusion length DL can be created easily. Circuit simulation in consideration of the diffusion length dependence of the drain currents of MOS transistors can thus be carried out, whereby highly accurate simulation can be attained.

    摘要: A feed-forward amplifier and a controller thereof. Two types of second pilot signals, sum frequency and difference frequency of a base pilot signal and a local oscillation signal, are generated by an injection-side mixer and injected into a distortion detection loop. Part of a signal appearing at an output terminal is branched, converted in frequency by a detection-side mixer using the local oscillation signal, filtered by a narrow-band filter, input to a synchronizing detector with the filtered output of the filter as error signals, and synchronizing detected with reference to the base pilot signal so as to generate control signals for a distortion rejection loop. The spectrums of the second pilot signals may be spread. A process to cancel the input signal component at the detection side may be performed. A simple circuit configuration enhances the distortion component rejection and suppression effect and shortens the time required until an optimum control state is established.

    摘要: A circuit for biasing an FET, comparing a gate bias voltage of the FET with a reference voltage at an operational amplifier and performing closed-loop control on the gate bias voltage of the FET with the output of the operational amplifier. The temperature characteristics of the mutual conductance of the FET is compensated by setting the temperature characteristics of one or both of two voltage dividing resistors. Variations in a drain bias current due to input signal level and temperature changes can be suppressed. The circuit at the gate and the circuit at the drain are separate, making possible class A, class AB, and class B operations. The voltage drop at the gate resistor can be ignored so that the gate resistor can be designed with priority given to stability of the RF characteristics.
