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:
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.

There is provided a distortion compensation circuit capable of accurately expressing a modulation signal, i.e., realizing a low distortion characteristic of an amplifier while suppressing increase of the compensation data and increase of the circuit size. According to a stationary characteristic compensation circuit (11) for storing an output signal amplitude and an output phase characteristic for control voltage in the stationary state, amplitude information r11(t) which has performed amplitude correction is subjected to amplitude adjustment by a first amplitude information adjustment unit (13), thereby improving the response of the output signal amplitude of the amplifier for the change of control voltage while suppressing increase of the compensation data.
Abstract:
A transmitter apparatus that exhibits a high efficiency and that can provide a wide variable output control width. An operation of saturation mode is performed in the vicinity of the maximum transmission power. A large-power amplifier (12) is caused, by increasing and then fixing the input level thereof, to operate in a saturation state, while the amplitude component of a modulation signal in a range corresponding to an output power control level is inputted to an R-input terminal (33) to amplitude modulate the power supply voltage (VDD) of a power supply terminal (25), thereby performing a polar coordinate modulation of a high efficiency. An operation of linear mode is performed for a smaller transmission power. The large-power amplifier (12) is caused, by reducing the input level thereof, to perform a linear operation, while the power supply voltage (VDD) of the power supply terminal (25) is varied in accordance with the output power control level, thereby performing a transmission power control.
