Abstract

The invention provides a semiconductor device. In a related-art semiconductor device, there is a problem that a second-order harmonic distortion originating in a power amplifier driven by a rectangular-wave signal cannot be effectively suppressed. According to an embodiment, a semiconductor device generates a transmission signal (RF_OUT) for driving an antenna by receiving first transmission pulses (INd_P) and second transmission pulses (INd_N) having a duty ratio lower than 50%, adjusting a phase difference between the first transmission pulses (INd_P) and the second transmission pulses (INd_N) to a predefined phase difference, and supplying the first transmission pulses (INd_P) and the second transmission pulses (INd_N) after phase difference-adjustment to a power amplifier (54).

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to semiconductor devices. For example, the present disclosure relates to a semiconductor device including a power amplifier that generates a transmission signal for driving an antenna based on a two-phase pulse. Background technique [0002] In recent years, a concept of IoT (Internet of Things) has been proposed in which products that have not been connected to a network in the past are always connected to a network and are controlled through the network. In this IoT concept, it has been considered to enable connection of infrastructure management products such as smart electricity meters, gas meters, or products such as those for building management to a network. In this IoT concept, radio signals whose carrier frequency is in the gigahertz band (ie, not higher than 1 GHz) are used in some cases. Compared with radio signals in the 2.4GHz band, radio signals in the gigahertz band are superior in communication range, di...
