Abstract

PURPOSE:To cause a wide-band transmitter to obtain a stable transmission output in a wide band range by correcting the frequency of a reference voltage which controls the transmission output of the transmitter by using the control voltage of a voltage- controlled oscillator(VCO). CONSTITUTION:A control amplifier 12 has amplification degrees corrected by the control voltage VAPC of the VCO 2 in accordance with the frequency characteristics of fL, fM and fH of an output voltage VDET. In other words, the amplification degree of the amplifier 12 is controlled in accordance with the frequency characteristics of the control voltage VAPC. In the course of the control, the gain of the amplifier is set against the frequency so that the frequency can have the same characteristics as the output voltage VDET in the appended figure has as shown by the solid lines in the appended figure. Then the frequency characteristics of the output voltage VCONT of the amplifier 12 becomes the same as those of the output voltage VDET and, for example, since the output voltage VCONT also drops even when the output voltage VDET drops at the time of frequency fL, the output voltage VCC1 of a high-frequency amplifier 5 becomes the same as the voltage of the frequency fM and the same transmission output as that obtained at the time of frequency fM can be obtained at the time of the frequency fL. Therefore, the transmission output can be maintained at a fixed level.

In a conventional dual transmitter output control circuit, the transmission output signal detector 8 usually combines the transmission outputs using a microstrip line 10 or the like, and converts the combined signal into a voltage using a rectifier detector 9 or the like. (S) In addition to IJ tube lines, capacitor coupling is also common.) However, as the transmitter becomes broadband, the degree of coupling described above has a frequency characteristic, and the detection voltage VDET also varies with frequency as shown in Figure 5. A constant value cannot be maintained. If this frequency cannot be kept constant, the transmission output P will decrease as shown in FIG. IJT also has the disadvantage that frequency characteristics occur and stability within the band is impaired.

It has an amplification degree corrected by AP. That is, the amplification degree of the control amplifier 12 is controlled according to the frequency characteristics of the control voltage vAPo shown in FIG. In this control, the gain of the amplifier 21 in FIG. 2 is set so that the frequency characteristic of the output voltage VDET in FIG. 5 is the same as that of the output voltage VDET in FIG. 5 with respect to the frequency as shown by the solid line in FIG.
