Abstract

The invention provides a peak-hold circuit and a signal intensity detection circuit using the peak-hold circuit. Peak of signal can be exactly held by adopting simple circuit organization but not depending on movement of temperature, Power and course. A signal (S1) outputted from a primary enlarge circuit is provided to a peak-hold circuit (4) to detect a signal (S4) of peak with lower limit. Moreover, a signal (S3) outputted from an inferior enlarge circuit is provided to a peak-hold circuit (7) to detect a signal (S7) of peak with upper limit. The signals (S4, S7) are added by summator and outputted as an output signal (OUT) which indicates signal intensity of an input signal (IN).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a peak hold circuit for holding the peak value of an input signal and a signal strength detection circuit using the peak hold circuit. Background technique [0002] figure 2 It is a configuration diagram of a conventional signal strength detection circuit described in Patent Document 1 below. [0003] This signal strength detection circuit is used to detect the strength of a transmission signal and a reception signal in a wireless communication device, etc., and outputs a signal strength RSS based on each output signal of four cascade-connected saturating amplifiers 101 to 104 . [0004] Each of the saturated amplifiers 101 to 104 has two gain control terminals VC1 and VC2. The bias signal generated by the constant gm bias generating unit 151 is supplied to the gain control terminal VC1 so that the saturation amplifiers 101 to 104 of each stage amplify at a constant gain regardless of temperature. On the other hand, ...
