Abstract
A gain control amplification circuit of this invention has a gain control amplification section which has at least two stages and is arranged in the transmission circuit of a terminal equipment for communicating with a base station. The gain control amplification section includes gain control amplifiers of IF-GCA and RF-GCA arranged on the input side (former stage) and output side (latter stage) of an up converter in the transmission circuit. The gains of the gain control amplifiers are individually controlled by a control section.
Claims12
A gain control amplification circuit for a terminal equipment in a radio communication system which executes communication between a base station and the terminal equipment, comprising:
- a gain control amplification section having gain control amplifiers of at least two stages;
- and
- control means for controlling said gain control amplifiers,
- wherein said gain control amplifiers are individually controlled by said control means to set a transmission output value from the terminal equipment to a predetermined value on the basis of a reception level of a reception signal transmitted from the base station and received by the terminal equipment;
- and
- wherein said control means comprises a determination circuit for determining an intensity of the reception signal, an adder for calculating a control signal on the basis of a determination result from said determination circuit, and a control voltage generation circuit for controlling said gain control amplifiers on the basis of the control signal.
A terminal equipment in a radio communication system, which has a reception circuit for receiving a transmission signal from a base station, and a transmission circuit for transmitting a signal to the base station so as to communicate with the base station, comprising:
- a gain control amplification circuit having a gain control amplification section in which gain control amplifiers of at least two stages are arranged;
- and
- control means for individually controlling said gain control amplifiers,
- wherein said gain control amplifiers are individually controlled by said control means to set a transmission output value from said terminal equipment to a predetermined value on the basis of a reception level of a reception signal transmitted from the base station and received by said terminal equipment, and
- wherein said control means comprises a determination circuit for determining an intensity of the reception signal, an adder for calculating a control signal on the basis of a determination result from said determination circuit, and a control voltage generation circuit for controlling said gain control amplifiers on the basis of the control signal.
