Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent destruction of an attenuator by setting a control voltage, which is to be inputted to automatic gain control(AGC), at a fixed voltage at a moment, when an SHF signal is inputted, and switching a control signal from an AGC circuit so as to input it to the AGC when a feedback voltage from a detector is stabilized. SOLUTION: When the SHF signal is outputted by a signal generator(SG) 1, a switcher 7 is connected with VSTD by a comparator 8. The VSTD is set on conditions that the voltage does not exceed the rated voltage of an attenuator 9 and is lower than a reference voltage VCOMP of the comparator 8. Besides, the VCOMP is a voltage, which does not exceed rating of the attenuator 9, as well. When the voltage of an AGC circuit 6 is lower than the reference voltage VCOMP of the comparator 8, the switcher 7 is switched to the side of the AGC circuit 6 and an AGC amplifier 2 is operated.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a radio transmission apparatus intended to be used at a short distance, for example, an FPU, an output electric power of a transmitter is reduced so that an input electric field at a receiver becomes an appropriate value. This prevents damage to the LNA (low noise amplifier) in the receiver. Therefore, it is common practice to add an attenuator to the output of the transmitter.
Therefore, in the conventional circuit shown in FIG. 2, when the SHF signal is input from the signal generator 1 for adjusting the power amplifier 3, A
The GC gain control circuit 6 has no output from the detector 5,
Since the AGC amplifier 2 has a full gain, the power amplifier 3 is saturated. Therefore, when an attenuator is put in the output,
By applying more than the rated power to the attenuator,
The attenuator may be destroyed. Therefore, in another conventional technique, the AGC amplifier 2 is controlled by setting the AGC gain control circuit 6 without using an attenuator, the input level of the SHF signal to the power amplifier 3 is suppressed, and the output power of the power amplifier 3 is reduced. I try to reduce.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention separates an output signal and a detection signal with a directional coupler so that the detection level is not affected, and then reduces only the output power. Decrease with attenuator. Then, at the moment when the SHF signal is input, the SHF signal is applied to prevent the attenuator from being destroyed due to the power above the rating being applied to the output attenuator.
At the moment when the signal is input, the control voltage input to the AGC is set to a fixed voltage, and when the feedback voltage from the detector is stabilized, the control signal from the AGC gain control circuit is changed to the AGC.

As a result, the power beyond the rating is not applied to the attenuator, and the output power and the detection are separated by the directional coupler. Then, only the output power can be reduced by the ATT. You can have no effect on your level.

Since the attenuator 9 is added after the directional coupler 4 of FIG. 1 in order to reduce the transmission output of the transmitter, the power distributed from the directional coupler 4 is reduced.
