摘要： A variable capacitor includes an N+ layer including a variable capacitance region, a P+ layer epitaxially grown on the N+ layer and formed from a SiGe film and a Si film, and a P-type electrode. An NPN-HBT (Hetero-junction Bipolar Transistor) includes a collector diffusion layer formed simultaneously with the N+ layer of the variable capacitor, a collector layer, and a Si/SiGe layer epitaxially grown simultaneously with the P+ layer of the variable capacitor. Since a depletion layer formed in a PN junction of the variable capacitor can extend entirely across the N+ layer, reduction in variation range of the capacitance can be suppressed.

摘要： The present invention directly modulates the VCO in accordance with transmission data, reduces the circuit scale and current consumed during transmission and obtains a highly accurate modulated output. A transmission data signal converted into an IQ modulation signal with a predetermined modulation bandwidth that is phase-modulated by the select control signal inputted to the ROM via the modulation circuit. The IQ modulation signal is converted into an analog signal by means of the DAC, and the analog signal is inputted to the gm adjustment device via the noise filter before being converted to an appropriate signal level that corresponds with the control sensitivity of the VCO. The converted analog signal is inputted to a second input terminal for controlling the direct frequency of the VCO and the oscillation frequency of the VCO is modulated. Switching of the BAND of the VCO is controlled by inputting a control signal that is outputted by the BAND CTRL to the third input terminal of the VCO and the control terminal of the gm adjustment device at the same time as controlling the transmission conductance of the gm adjustment device in order to establish the modulation depth of the input signal from the second input terminal of the VCO that corresponds with the VCO control sensitivity, which varies for each BAND, at a target modulation depth, whereby a highly accurate modulated output is obtained.
