High-frequency power amplifier circuit and electronic part for communication

摘要

A wireless communication system has a first operation mode (GSM mode) for amplifying a phase-modulated high frequency signal with a high frequency power amplifier circuit and a second operation mode (EDGE mode) for amplifying a phase and amplitude-modulated high frequency signal with the amplifier circuit. The amplifier circuit has an input of a high frequency signal, with the amplitude and frequency being fixed in both the first and second operation modes, and operates by being controlled for the bias state of each amplifying stage in accordance with the output control signal produced by a control circuit based on the demanded output level (Vapc) and the detected output level (VSNS) so that the amplifier circuit performs signal amplification to meet the demanded output level.
