Provided in transmitting circuits of wireless communication equipment, etc. to protect The transmitting circuit includes a transmitting device 1, a pre-stage transmitting circuit 4, a variable gain amplifier 5, a transmitting final stage section 6, and an antenna 7. The transmission signal generated by the telephone key 2 (including the automatic transmission device), microphone 3, etc. of the transmitting device 1 is sent to the front stage so that the radio wave type high frequency transmission power corresponding to the mode selected with the mode selection dial 13 can be transmitted from the antenna 7. The transmitting circuit 4 performs waveform processing such as amplification, modulation, and band selection. A transmission output control circuit such as a variable gain amplifier 5 outputs a transmission signal subjected to waveform processing to a transmission final stage section 6. The final transmission stage 6 generates high-frequency transmission power from the input transmission signal and radiates it into the air from the antenna 7 as a radio wave. This radio wave type has attributes related to modulation type (amplitude, phase, pulse, etc.) and transmission type (telegraph, telephone, video, facsimile, etc.). AM, FM, SSB (upper sideband or lower sideband) is used in amateur radio. ) CW, FSK (frequency shift keying using SSB, AM, etc., that is, audio FSK...including AFSK), etc. Further, a vacuum tube or a semiconductor element is used for the power amplification provided in the transmission final stage 6, and the overlevel of the power amplification and its maximum duration are the design goals to prevent burnout, deterioration, etc. of the transmission final stage 6. It's summery. Furthermore, the probability of appearance of a signal is different between an audio signal (analog waveform) and a telephone key signal (digital waveform), and especially in SSB where a carrier wave is not emitted in the radio wave when there is no signal, the ALC voltage generation circuit 9
The detection time of the overlevel that appeared in the transmission final stage 6, that is, the ALC voltage rise time and
The ALC generated by the ALC voltage generation circuit 9 suppresses the gain of the variable gain amplifier 5, etc., and the time until the overlevel is released and the original state is restored, that is,
ALC voltage hold time is an important factor in ensuring proper continuous transmission. In addition, the transmission final stage section 6
In order to operate efficiently, a controlled circuit such as a variable gain amplifier 5 controlled by the ALC voltage is provided at each stage, and the level distribution at each stage is appropriate during normal times and at the start of the ALC. Reference numeral 12 at the bottom of the figure is a drive control volume, and this drive control circuit is an ALC

Normally, the design conditions for ALC voltage holding time for SSB, where the signal is an analog waveform, are more complex than for other radio wave formats. Therefore, the time constant of the conventional ALC circuit 6 is determined to be compatible with SSB. Therefore, AFSK using SSB with different probabilities of occurrence of signals
However, it has drawbacks such as extremely poor responsiveness.
Furthermore, FSK using FM has the disadvantage that a non-negligible filter ripple occurs due to the difference between the mark frequency and the space frequency (usually 170 Hz to 850 Hz) and the filter loss for each frequency passing through the band pulse filter. The present invention has been made in consideration of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide an ALC circuit that can obtain an ALC voltage compatible with radio wave types.
