Transmitting method and transmitter apparatus
First Claim
1. A transmitting method that controls a voltage of a power amplifying means in response to an envelope amplitude of a transmission signal, the method comprising:
- detecting a distortion component of a signal output from the power amplifying means, and controlling automatically a control timing over a voltage that controls the power amplifying means such that the distortion component is minimized.

Abstract
A transmitting method and a transmitter apparatus, which need no manual adjustment, are disclosed. A delay amount of a delay means is automatically adjusted such that an out-of-band distortion component of a transmission signal is minimized, and a correct timing is produced by the method and the apparatus. In this transmitter apparatus, a first delay means adjusts a control timing over a voltage that controls a power amplifying means, and a distributor distributes an output from the power amplifying means in order to feedback parts of the output. A distortion adjusting means calculates a distortion component of the transmission signal by using the signal fed back by the distributor, and adjusts automatically a delay amount of the first delay means so as to minimize the distortion component. This structure allows eliminating manual adjustment, and obtaining high power-efficiency with fewer distortions.
