Abstract

According to one embodiment, an ASK signal generator includes a differential oscillator, a first modulator, a second modulator, a first transmission line, a second transmission line and an impedance adjustment circuit. The differential oscillator generates first and second signals having an opposite phase, and outputs the first and second signals from first and second output terminals. The first modulator connected to the first output terminal is set in the normally off state. The second modulator connected to the second output terminal is turned on or off according to a digital signal. The first and second transmission lines connected to the first and second output terminals have a length equal to a ¼ wavelength of the oscillation frequency of the differential oscillator. The impedance adjustment circuit is operated together with the second modulator according to the digital signal.
