## Abstract

A communication circuit includes a first transfer circuit that includes a first transmitter circuit, and a second transfer circuit that includes a second transmitter circuit that can transmit a signal simultaneously with the first transmitter circuit. The second transmitter circuit is configured to be placed in a transmission halt state when transmission power of the second transmitter circuit resulting from being decreased by a predetermined value is lower than or equal to a threshold.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A communication circuit comprising:
a first transmitter circuit; and
a second transmitter circuit configured to transmit a signal simultaneously with the first transmitter circuit,
wherein the second transmitter circuit is configured to be in a transmission halt state when a transmission power of the second transmitter circuit, decreased by a predetermined value, is less than or equal to a threshold,
wherein the second transmitter circuit comprises a first switch configured to selectively connect the second transmitter circuit to an antenna, and to selectively disconnect the second transmitter circuit from the antenna, and
wherein the second transmitter circuit is configured to be in the transmission halt state when the first switch is in an OFF state.

### Claim 2

A communication circuit comprising:
a first transmitter circuit; and
a second transmitter circuit configured to transmit a signal simultaneously with the first transmitter circuit,
wherein the second transmitter circuit is configured to be in a transmission halt state when a transmission power of the second transmitter circuit, decreased by a predetermined value, is less than or equal to a threshold,
wherein the second transmitter circuit comprises:
a power amplifier; and
a second switch connected to an input terminal or to an output terminal of the power amplifier, and
wherein the second transmitter circuit is configured to be in the transmission halt state when the second switch is in an OFF state.

### Claim 3

A communication circuit comprising:
a first transmitter circuit; and
a second transmitter circuit configured to transmit a signal simultaneously with the first transmitter circuit,
wherein the second transmitter circuit is configured to be in a transmission halt state when a transmission power of the second transmitter circuit, decreased by a predetermined value, is less than or equal to a threshold, and
wherein the second transmitter circuit comprises a power amplifier, and is configured to be in the transmission halt state when a supply of power to the power amplifier is stopped.
