Abstract

An exemplary aspect of an embodiment of the present invention is a communication apparatus including an amplifier circuit which adjusts transmit power of a first signal and transmit power of a second signal if the transmit power of the first signal having a first frequency included in a first frequency band is different from the transmit power of the second signal having a second frequency included in a second frequency band, where the second frequency is different from the first frequency. The amplifier circuit includes a variable inductor which varies an inductance value for each of the first signal and the second signal to adjust the transmit power of the first signal and the transmit power of the second signal.

Claims (14)

1 . A communication apparatus comprising:

an amplifier circuit which adjusts transmit power of a first signal and transmit power of a second signal if the transmit power of the first signal having a first frequency included in a first frequency band is different from the transmit power of the second signal having a second frequency included in a second frequency band, the second frequency being different from the first frequency,

wherein the amplifier circuit comprises a variable inductor which varies an inductance value for each of the first signal and the second signal to adjust the transmit power of the first signal and the transmit power of the second signal.

2 . The communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the variable inductor comprises:

a variable resistor which varies a resistance value for each of the first signal and the second signal;

a primary coil connected in parallel with the variable resistor; and

a secondary coil electromagnetically coupled to the primary coil.

3 . The communication device according to claim 2 , wherein the amplifier circuit further comprises a transistor which is connected in series with the secondary coil and has a gate input with a signal having the first frequency or the second frequency.

4 . The communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the amplifier circuit smoothes the transmit power of the first signal, the transmit power of the second signal and transmit power of a third signal having a third frequency included in a third frequency band, the third frequency being different from the first frequency and the second frequency, and

the variable inductor varies an inductance value for each of the first to the third signals to smooth the transmit power of the first to the third signals.

5 . The communication device according to claim 2 , wherein the amplifier circuit smoothes the transmit power of the first signal, the transmit power of the second signal and transmit power of a third signal having a third frequency included in a third frequency band, the third frequency being different from the first frequency and the second frequency, and

the variable inductor varies an inductance value for each of the first to the third signals to smooth the transmit power of the first to the third signals.

6 . The communication device according to claim 3 , wherein the amplifier circuit smoothes the transmit power of the first signal, the transmit power of the second signal and transmit power of a third signal having a third frequency included in a third frequency band, the third frequency being different from the first frequency and the second frequency, and

the variable inductor varies an inductance value for each of the first to the third signals to smooth the transmit power of the first to the third signals.
