Abstract

A mobile phone to transmit and receive a radio frequency signal through a first antenna and a second antenna in a radio communication system includes a first radio frequency signal receiving unit to convert the radio frequency signal received through the first antenna into a baseband signal to be transmitted to a controller, a second radio frequency signal receiving unit to convert the radio frequency signal received through the second antenna into a baseband signal to be transmitted to the controller, and a radio frequency signal transmitting unit to convert a baseband signal transmitted from the controller into a radio frequency signal, to distribute the radio frequency signal, and to selectively output the distributed radio frequency signal to the first antenna and the second antenna.

Claims (14)

1. A mobile phone to transmit and receive a radio frequency signal through a first antenna and a second antenna in a radio communication system, comprising:

a first radio frequency signal receiving unit to convert the radio frequency signal received through the first antenna into a baseband signal to be transmitted to a controller;

a second radio frequency signal receiving unit to convert the radio frequency signal received through the second antenna into a baseband signal to be transmitted to the controller; and

a radio frequency signal transmitting unit to convert a baseband signal transmitted from the controller into a radio frequency signal to be transmitted to the first antenna and/or second antenna under control of the controller,

wherein the controller controls the radio frequency signal so as to be received through the first and second antenna, and controls the radio frequency signal so as to be transmitted to the first antenna, and controls the radio frequency signal so as to be selectively transmitted to the second antenna.

2. The mobile phone according to claim 1 , wherein the first radio frequency signal receiving unit and the second radio frequency signal receiving unit comprise:

a receipt adjusting unit to control receipt of the radio frequency signal and to control receipt diversity under control of the controller.

3. The mobile phone according to claim 2 , wherein the receipt adjusting unit comprises:

a first receipt adjustor to receive power supplied from a battery, and to supply driving power to the first radio frequency signal receiving unit under control of the controller; and

a second receipt adjustor to receive power supplied from the battery, and to supply driving power to the second radio frequency signal receiving unit under control of the controller.

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

a power distributor to distribute the radio frequency signal output;

a first power amplifier to amplify the radio frequency signal distributed by the power distributor, and to output the amplified radio frequency signal to the first antenna under control of the controller; and

a second power amplifier to amplify the radio frequency signal distributed by the power distributor, and to output the amplified radio frequency signal to the second antenna under control of the controller.
