Wireless communication device for calculating level correction value for transmission signal

摘要

In a wireless communication device, in a correction value calculating mode, a control unit flips switches to the “a” sides, a modulation processing unit generates a CW signal as an I channel signal, a DAC converts the digital CW signal into an analog CW signal, an LPF eliminates the high-frequency component from the CW signal, a mixer functions as an up-converter for up-converting the CW signal, a PA amplifies the RF power of the CW signal, a mixer functions as a down-converter for down-converting the CW signal, an ADC converts the analog CW signal into a digital CW signal, a level detecting unit detects the voltage level of the CW signal, a correction value calculating unit calculates a correction value based on the detected voltage level, and a correction value storing unit stores the calculated correction value.

主权项

1. A wireless communication device comprising:
an antenna; a duplexer that allows the antenna to be used as both of a transmitting antenna and a receiving antenna, the duplexer having a ripple deviation; a first mixer that is connected to the duplexer and functions as an up-converter in both a first mode and a second mode; a second mixer that is connected to the duplexer through a switch, the switch being capable of being flipped to a first side or a second side, that changes a function thereof according to a flip of the switch, that functions as a down-converter for a first signal in the first mode, the first mode being a mode in which the switch is flipped to the first side, the first signal being a signal which has output from the duplexer after having been up-converted by the first mixer, and that functions as an up-converter for a second signal in the second mode, the second mode being a mode in which the switch is flipped to the second side, the second signal being a signal before being input to the duplexer; a detecting unit that detects a level of a third signal that has been up-converted by the first mixer, has passed through the duplexer, and has been down-converted by the second mixer in the first mode; and a calculating unit that calculates a level correction value of a transmission signal based on the detected level, the level correction value being for negating the ripple deviation of the duplexer.
