Abstract

A transmission circuit comprises a fixed-frequency oscillator for oscillating a frequency for the transmission, a voltage controlled oscillator for outputting a signal containing a modulation signal component, a frequency mixer for mixing an output signal of the fixed-frequency oscillator and an output signal of the voltage controlled oscillator, a high-frequency amplifier for amplifying output of the frequency mixer and supplying the amplified signal to a transmission antenna, and a power control circuit for first turning on power of the voltage controlled oscillator and the high-frequency amplifier at the beginning of the transmission and after expiration of a predetermined time, turning on power of the fixed-frequency oscillator.
