Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

To effectively control the amplitude vs. power supply voltage characteristics, for example, in an ET amplifier. An amplifying device for amplifying an input signal wherein: amplifier means ( 4 ) amplifies the input signal; amplification control means ( 5, 7 ) control the power supply voltage to the amplification means on the basis of the input signal; first detection means ( 14 ) detects the amplification factor between the input signal and a feedback signal obtained by means of a feedback of the signal that has been amplified by the amplification means; second detection means ( 14 ) detects the variance of the amplification factors for each value or range of the amplitude of the input signal; and amplification control update means ( 14 ) performs an update so as to increase the power supply voltage with respect to a value or range of amplitude that exhibits a variance in excess of a predetermined threshold value, or to reduce the power supply voltage with respect to a value or range of amplitude that exhibits a variance lower than the predetermined threshold value.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An amplifying device that amplifies an input signal, comprising: amplification means that amplifies the input signal; amplification control means that controls a power supply voltage, which is supplied to the amplification means, based on the input signal; first detection means that detects a amplification factor or a phase difference between the input signal and a feedback signal generated by feeding back a signal amplified by the amplification me…
