    Abstract: A transmitter includes a dual mode modulator and an amplifier coupled to the dual mode modulator. The dual mode modulator implements a linear modulation scheme during a first mode of the modulator to produce a variable envelope modulated signal. The dual mode modulator implements a non-linear modulation scheme during a second mode of the modulator to produce a constant envelope modulated signal. The amplifier is biased as a linear amplifier during the first mode of the modulator and is biased as a non-linear amplifier during the second mode of the modulator. A feed-forward connection between the dual mode modulator and the amplifier is used to indicate a change in modulation mode and to adjust the bias of the amplifier. A power of the constant envelope modulated signal is increased such that an operating point of the amplifier remains substantially constant during the first and second modes of the modulator.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a communication semiconductor integrated circuit device equipped with a high-frequency power amplifier circuit including a gain control amplifier and a bias circuit which supplies such a bias current as to linearly change the gain of the gain control amplifier, and a wireless communication system using the same. A bias current generating circuit which supplies a bias current to a linear amplifier that constitutes the communication high-frequency power amplifier circuit, comprises a plurality of variable current sources respectively different in current value and start level. These variable current sources are controlled according to an input control voltage and thereby combine their currents into a bias current. The combined bias current changes exponentially with respect to the input control voltage.

    Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a transmitter high in efficiency, good in linearity and capable of covering an output level in a wide range. Either linear operating mode or saturation operating mode is set as the operating mode of a high-frequency power amplifier (15) on the basis of an operating mode set signal (107). The gain of a variable gain amplifier (14) provided in front of the high-frequency power amplifier (15) and values of output voltage (109) and bias current supplied from a supply voltage/bias current control circuit (17) to the high-frequency power amplifier (15) are switched. The gain of the variable gain amplifier (14) in the saturation operating mode is formed so as to be higher by a predetermined value than that in the linear operating mode. Accordingly, the high-frequency power amplifier 15 operates in the designated operating mode, so that the output transmission power range can be widened.
