Abstract:
A mobile communication system has a multi-band antenna capable of receiving and processing signals of GPS, CDMA, and PCS bands. In the system, a GPS processing section receives a signal of a first frequency band, so as to generate global positioning information. A communication signal processing section receives signals of a second frequency band lower than the first frequency band and a third frequency band higher than the first frequency band, demodulates the received signals , while modulating signals to be transmitted of the second frequency band and the third frequency band and outputting the modulated signals. The multi-band antenna has a dual-pitch helical antenna which includes first and second helical coil portions having different pitches, so that the first and second helical coil portions have different impedances for the signals of the first to third frequency bands. A frequency band separator section connected between the multi-band antenna and the GPS processing section and communication processing section supplies the signal of the first frequency band to the GPS processing section while supplying the signals of the second and third frequency bands to the communication processing section.
Abstract:
There is provided a built-in single band antenna device and an operating method thereof in a mobile terminal. In the built-in antenna single band antenna device, a built-in single band antenna is formed into a conductive pattern on a board extended from the upper side of a main PCB. A whip antenna is connected to the built-in single band antenna, and contained in the mobile terminal when the whip antenna is retracted. A whip antenna driver extends or retracts the whip antenna. A duplexer separates an RF signal received from the built-in single band antenna from an RF signal to be transmitted to the built-in single band antenna. A controller processes the RF signals received at and transmitted from the duplexer and controls the whip antenna driver to extend the whip antenna in a speech state or upon a call attempt from a user.
Abstract:
There is provided a helical antenna structure, which exhibits minimal influence from contact with a human body in a mobile terminal. In the helical antenna structure, a cap protrudes from an upper end of the mobile terminal, and a winding coil is formed within the cap, which is spaced from an outer surface of the cap substantially the same distance from a bottom part of the cap to a top part of the cap.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a built-in dual band antenna device and an operating method thereof in a mobile terminal. In the built-in antenna dual band antenna device, a built-in dual band antenna has a first conductive antenna pattern formed on a board extended from the upper side of a main PCB and a second conductive antenna pattern on a board extended at a right angle from the upper side of the main PCB. A whip antenna is connected to the built-in dual band antenna, and contained in the mobile terminal when the whip antenna is retracted. A whip antenna driver extends or retracts the whip antenna. A duplexer separates an RF signal received from the built-in dual band antenna from an RF signal to be transmitted to the built-in dual band antenna. A controller processes the RF signals received at and transmitted from the duplexer and controls the whip antenna driver to extend the whip antenna in a speech state or upon a call attempt from a user.
Abstract:
An antenna apparatus for a folder type mobile phone, wherein a first antenna is installed in a main body of the folder type mobile phone, and a second antenna is installed in the folder. The folder type mobile phone installs a main antenna apparatus in the main body, and an antenna apparatus for maximizing the diversity effect in the folder. As a result, it becomes more convenient to carry the folder type mobile phone based on the diversity mode, while securing a broader separation distance between two antennas at the same time.
Abstract:
A retractable antenna unit for a mobile phone including an antenna housing provided in the casing of the mobile phone, a helical antenna installed in the antenna housing, a whip antenna having an upper end provided with a knob and a lower end provided with a stopper, the stopper being also provided with a feeder part, and a metal tube for supplementing the length of the helical antenna when the whip antenna is completely retracted into the antenna housing, or serving to extend the operational length of the whip antenna when the whip antenna is completely extended from the antenna housing, whereby the wave feed position of the whip antenna is raised when the whip antenna is completely extended from the antenna housing.
Abstract:
An antenna driving device for a mobile communication terminal including a flat antenna and a receiver for receiving a radio signal through the flat antenna. The device has a flat antenna driver for shifting the direction of the flat antenna by predetermined steps; an RSSI detector for detecting the RSSI value of the received radio signal for each shifting step of the flat antenna; a position detector for detecting a position of the flat antenna through the flat antenna driver; a memory for storing the RSSI value detected for each step and the associated flat antenna positional information; and a controller for controlling the flat antenna driver and the RSSI detector, and for shifting the direction of the flat antenna to a position having the highest RSSI value by controlling the flat antenna driver. The flat antenna driver comprises a motor for shifting the direction of the flat antenna; and a driver for driving the motor under the control of the controller to shift the direction of the flat antenna.
Abstract:
An antenna structure of a mobile terminal includes a whip antenna, a helical antenna mounted to the mobile terminal and pierced with the whip antenna in a lengthwise direction thereof, a bushing for fixing the helical antenna to the mobile terminal and connecting the helical antenna or the whip antenna to a radio frequency (RF) block, a projection for stopping extension of the whip antenna, a driving motor for generating a driving force to retract/extend the whip antenna according to a specified control signal, and rollers for transmitting torque generated from the driving motor to the whip antenna to be retracted/extended. The whip antenna includes: a non-conducting upper portion disposed at a position of the helical antenna when the whip antenna is retracted; an intermediate portion including a conducting wire isolated with an insulating material of a predetermined thickness, and a conducting connection having a predetermined width to be coupled to the bushing when the whip antenna is extended; and a non-conducting lower portion having the projection at the lower end thereof, wherein the upper portion, the intermediate portion and the lower portion are equal in diameter.
