A device for decoupling a supply voltage for HF amplifier circuits is described which includes an output line for coupling out an amplified signal, wherein one end of the output line, which is not used for coupling out signals, is connected to a circuit element designed as decoupling circuit. The circuit element has a low ohmic d.c. resistance and presents an HF-power absorption capacity that increases as the frequency increases, thus constituting a reflection-free termination for high frequencies. The circuit element is preferably constituted by several discrete subcircuits connected in succession. The device permits the operation of integrated distributed amplifiers of high performance at a low power loss caused by the decoupling circuit.

A class-D amplifier includes: an operational amplifier and capacitors, which constitute an integrator for integrating a difference between a plus-sided input signal and a minus-sided input signal which constitute analog input signals; delay circuits for delaying a phase of a triangular wave by a desirable very small angle; resistors, which constitute a synthesizing circuit for synthesizing an output of the integrator, the triangular wave, and outputs of the delay circuits with each other; comparators for comparing outputs of the synthesizing circuit with each other; AND circuits which constitute a buffer for inputting outputs of the comparators; and resistors feeding back an output of the buffer to an input side of the integrator.

In a driver circuit constructing a switching power supply device that switches power transistors passing a current through a coil by a PWM mode, a current detection transistor, which is smaller in size than the low-potential side power transistor and a current detection resistor are provided in parallel to the low-potential side power transistor. The same control voltage as the power transistor is applied to the control terminal of the current detection transistor. An operational amplifier is formed, that has the potential of the connection node between the current detection transistor and the current detection resistor applied to its inverse input terminal and a feedback loop, so as to make a pair of input terminals of the operational amplifier be at the same potential. A signal produced by the current detection resistor is thus outputted as a current detection signal.

The power supply PS includes a voltage detecting circuit VD for detecting a voltage level Vs inputted from an external voltage source, a boot strap circuit BS, andET connected in parallel with BS, a smoothing circuit SM connected with the BS output terminal and a regulating IC connected with BS and FET. The regulating IC includes VD, a transistor Tr and condenser C. Both when a PS switch is turned on and when VD detects that Vs (which once descended) reaches an ascending reference, a high level driving signal generated by VD is changed into a low level signal, thereby turning off Tr connected with C. Thus, until Tr completes charging up C, a duty ratio of a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal dependent on the SM output is made gradually greater, thereby surely preventing a rush current by turning on and off the FET by the PWM signal.

As a result, the power consumption in the standby mode can be reduced to less than 0.5 W.

Polar modulation transmission apparatus capable of suppressing power loss of a battery supply line to a high-frequency power amplifier regardless of whether transmission power is high or low is provided. Operation control section (120) performing control in such a manner that a battery voltage (S21) converted as a result of operation of a DC / DC converter (111) is applied to amplitude signal amplifying section (106) or halting operation of the DC / DC converter (111) in such a manner that battery voltage (S20) is applied directly from the battery (130) based on a transmission power control signal (S14). As a result, when transmission power is low, power loss at the amplitude signal amplifying section (106) is suppressed by DC / DC converter (111), unnecessary operation of DC / DC converter (111) is halted when transmission power is high, and power loss can be suppressed regardless of whether transmission power is high or low.
