A .SIGMA..DELTA. transmitter that permits setting of a loop filter LF, a
charge pump current and other factors to the same conditions even if it
is operated in a plurality of frequency bands, therefore allows the
number of components to be reduced and at the same time enables the angle
between the phases of local signals for reception use to be close to
exactly 90.degree., which is a feature ensuring robustness against
inter-element variations and accordingly suitable for large scale
integration, is to be provided. The oscillation frequency of a VCO is set
to an even-number multiple of the transmit frequency, and generates
transmit signals via a divider. A device that varies the gain according
to the amplitude component of modulating signals is added to an amplifier
whose input is signals from the VCO, and the transmission of modulating
signals involving amplitude modulation, such as EDGE, is thereby made
possible.
