Abstract

A transmitter receiver unit of the present invention comprises a phase shifter connected between a transistor and a filter multiplexer for decreasing a reactance component of an impedance, as observed from the transistor toward the filter multiplexer, to a value close to zero in a third frequency band given as the sum or difference between the integer multiples of a second frequency band and a first frequency band. This structure decreases the impedance in the third frequency band of the filter multiplexer side as observed from the transistor, thereby making the transistor not liable to generate a signal voltage of the third frequency band.

Claims (19)

1. A transmitter receiver unit comprising:

an antenna terminal;

a transistor connected to the antenna terminal;

a filter multiplexer connected to the transistor;

a receiving terminal branched and connected to the filter multiplexer, for inputting a signal of a first frequency band from the filter multiplexer to a receiver circuit; and

a transmitting terminal branched and connected to the filter multiplexer, for inputting a signal of a second frequency band from a transmitter circuit to the filter multiplexer,

wherein the transmitter receiver unit further includes a phase shifter connected between the transistor and the filter multiplexer for decreasing a reactance component of an impedance, as observed from the transistor toward the filter multiplexer, to a value close to zero in a third frequency band given as the sum or difference between the integer multiples of the second frequency band and the first frequency band.

2. The transmitter receiver unit of claim 1 , wherein a degree of phase shifted by the phase shifter is in a range of ±20 degrees from a point where the reactance component of the impedance becomes zero, as observed from the transistor toward the filter multiplexer.

3. The transmitter receiver unit of claim 1 , wherein a degree of phase shifted by the phase shifter is in a range of ±10 degrees from a point where the reactance component of the impedance becomes zero, as observed from the transistor toward the filter multiplexer.

4. The transmitter receiver unit of claim 1 , wherein the phase shifter decreases the reactance component of the impedance to a value close to zero in a frequency band given by subtracting the first frequency band from two times the second frequency band.

5. The transmitter receiver unit of claim 1 further comprising a notch filter connected between the antenna terminal and the transistor for attenuating a signal of a fourth frequency band produced by addition or subtraction between the integer multiples of the second frequency band and the first frequency band, wherein the third frequency band is a different frequency band from the fourth frequency band.

6. The transmitter receiver unit of claim 5 , wherein a difference between the fourth frequency band and the second frequency band is greater than a difference between the third frequency band and the second frequency band.

7. An electronic apparatus comprising:

an antenna;

a transistor connected to the antenna;

a filter multiplexer connected to the transistor;

a receiver circuit branched and connected to the filter multiplexer, for receiving a signal of a first frequency band; and

a transmitter circuit branched and connected to the filter multiplexer, for transmitting a signal of a second frequency band,

wherein the electronic apparatus further has a phase shifter connected between the transistor and the filter multiplexer for decreasing a reactance component of an impedance, as observed from the transistor toward the filter multiplexer, to a value close to zero in a third frequency band given as the sum or difference between the integer multiples of the second frequency band and the first frequency band.
