Abstract

In a polar loop based radio-communications apparatus having a phase control loop for controlling the phase of a carrier outputted from an oscillator for transmission, and an amplitude control loop for controlling the amplitude of a transmission output signal outputted from a power amplification circuit, the phase control loop is first started while maintaining the amplitude control loop in an off state at the outset of transmission, and the amplitude control loop is started after stabilizing the phase control loop.
