A transmitter is provided which includes a transmitting circuit that does
not require a high-performance low noise VCO restricting cost reduction
thereof and that can reduce the number of parts without requiring an RF
filter. A direct conversion that does not require a transmission VCO is
applied to the transmitting circuit. In order to achieve noise reduction
in a receiving band, low-pass filters are provided a IQ input sections of
a modulator that converts IQ signals into RF signals. In comparison with
a conventional transmitter using offset PLL, an external VCO required in
addition to an RF integrated circuit, a power amplifier, and a front end
circuit is reduced. Even in current transistor performance, by using a
filter having rapid waveform characteristics such as a SAW more
inexpensive than the VCO, or the like, it is possible to provide a
GSM/GSM 1800/GSM1900 triple band transmitter.
