Abstract

A mobile phone includes a controller; a receipt adjusting unit for controlling receipt of the (RF) radio frequency signal and controlling receipt diversity under control of the controller; a first RF signal receiver for converting the RF signal received through the first antenna into a baseband signal to be transmitted to the controller under control of the receipt adjusting unit; a second RF signal receiver for converting the RF signal received through the second antenna into a baseband signal to be transmitted to the controller under control of the receipt adjusting unit; a transmission diversity adjusting unit for controlling transmission diversity under control of the controller; and an RF signal transmitter for converting the baseband signal transmitted from the controller into an RF signal to be transmitted to the first antenna and transmitting the RF signal to the second antenna under control of the transmission diversity adjusting unit.

Claims (18)

1. A mobile phone for receiving power from a battery and transmitting and receiving a radio frequency signal through first and second antennas in a radio communication system, comprising:

control means for controlling transmission/receipt of the radio frequency signal and controlling transmission/receipt diversity;

receipt adjusting means for controlling receipt of the radio frequency signal and controlling receipt diversity under control of the control means;

first radio frequency signal receiving means for converting the radio frequency signal received through the first antenna into a baseband signal to be transmitted to the control means under receipt control of the receipt adjusting means;

second radio frequency signal receiving means for converting the radio frequency signal received through the second antenna into a baseband signal to be transmitted to the control means under receipt diversity control of the receipt adjusting means;

transmission diversity adjusting means for controlling transmission diversity under control of the control means; and

radio frequency signal transmitting means for converting the baseband signal transmitted from the control means into a radio frequency signal to be transmitted to the first antenna and transmitting the radio frequency signal to the second antenna under transmission diversity control of the transmission diversity adjusting means.

2. The mobile phone according to claim 1 , wherein the receipt adjusting means comprises:

a first receipt adjustor for receiving power supplied from the battery and supplying driving power source to the first radio frequency signal receiving means under control of the control means; and

a second receipt adjustor for receiving power supplied from the battery and supplying driving power source to the second radio frequency signal receiving means under control of the control means.

3. The mobile phone according to claim 2 , wherein, when control instructions to perform receipt diversity are input from the outside, the control means controls the second receipt adjusting means to perform the receipt diversity through the second radio frequency signal receiving means.

4. The mobile phone according to claim 1 , wherein the radio frequency signal transmitting means comprises:

a mixer for converting the baseband signal transmitted from the control means into the radio frequency signal;

a power distributor for distributing the radio frequency signal output from the mixer;

a first power amplifier for amplifying the radio frequency signal distributed by the power distributor and outputting the amplified radio frequency signal to the first antenna under control of the control means; and

a second power amplifier for amplifying the radio frequency signal distributed by the power distributor and outputting the amplified radio frequency signal to the second antenna, the second power amplifier being driven by driving power source transmitted from the transmission diversity adjusting means.

5. The mobile phone according to claim 4 , wherein the transmission diversity adjusting means comprises an AND gate having two input terminals connected to a transmission control terminal and a transmission diversity control terminal of the control means, respectively, and an output terminal connected to a power terminal of the second power amplifier.

6. The mobile phone according to claim 5 , wherein, when control instructions to perform transmission diversity are input from the outside, the control means outputs a high level signal through the transmission control terminal and the transmission diversity control terminal, the AND gate performs an AND operation for two high level signals input from the control means and outputs a result of the AND operation as the driving power source of the second power amplifier.
