Abstract: The base of bipolar transistor 1 connected to RF terminal 13, IF terminal 9, and LO terminal 6 is connected to power source 16 through power supply switch 11. When power supply switch 11 is turned on and an RF signal and an LO signal are input to bipolar transistor 1, a mixed signal of both signals is output as an IF signal. When power supply switch 11 is turned off, the bipolar transistor 1 operates as two diodes connected between base terminal 4 and emitter terminal 2 and between base terminal 4 and collector terminal 3. When the IF signal and the LO signal are input, the input signals are mixed with each other by the diodes and the RF signal is output. Accordingly, one frequency conversion has a plus conversion gain and when bidirectional frequency conversion is performed by the use of one frequency converter, an external circuit such as a signal path switching switch is not necessary.

Abstract: A transmitting method and a transmitter apparatus wherein no manual adjustments are required, the delay amount of delay means is automatically so adjusted as to minimize distortion components outside the band of signals to be transmitted, and wherein correct timing is realized. In this transmitter apparatus, first delay means adjusts the control timing of a voltage that controls power-amplifying means. A distributor feeds back a part of an output from the power-amplifying means. Distortion-adjusting means uses a signal fed back by the distributor to calculate the distortion components of a transmitted signal, and automatically so adjusts the delay amount of the first delay means as to minimize the distortion components. This eliminates the necessity of manual adjustments, reduces the distortion, and provides a high efficiency of power supply.

Abstract: Transmission outputs of a plurality of transmission branches (101, 102) are extracted by coupler sections (161, 162). Branch detectors (121, 122) respectively detect the levels of the extracted signals of the respective transmission branches and a combination detector (130) detects an output obtained by combining two extracted outputs from the transmission branches by a signal combining section (110). An amplitude error is detected and corrected by comparing output levels of the branch detectors (121, 122), and a phase error is detected and corrected by an output level of the combination detector (130).

Abstract: There are provided a plurality of systems of reconfigurable radio processing unit (102) whose function and performance can be modified. A control unit (104) collects quality information on the communication link in communication methods received at respective radio processing systems (102a, 102b). According to this, the control unit (104) selects an optimal communication method and transmission mode from a plurality of communication methods and transmission modes (for example, diversity transmission between a plurality of systems, diversity transmission by a single communication method, and MIMO channel multiplex transmission). By modifying configurations of the reconfigurable radio processing unit (102) according to the selected communication method and transmission mode, it is possible to communicate at a desired transmission mode. Thus, it is possible to perform an optimal transmission to the communication link according to the quality condition and other request condition.

Abstract: Transmission output detectors 161, 162 extract transmission outputs of a plurality of transmission branches 101, 102, and an inter-branch error detector 110 detects a combined signal level of the transmission outputs of the transmission branches to obtain an error detection signal. A correction controller 130 calculates an amplitude error between the transmission branches based on an error detection signal which is obtained by turning ON/OFF output operations of the transmission branches 101, 102, and calculates a phase error between the transmission branches based on an error detection signal which is obtained by changing the phases of the transmission branches 101, 102. A phase controller 180 and an amplitude controller 190 correct the amplitude error and the phase error. The inter-branch error detector 110 can be configured by a simple circuit which is formed by a detector, and which can be mounted in a small size and low power.
