  • Patent number: 8224260
    Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) signal transmission/reception apparatus and an RF signal transmission/reception method are disclosed. The RF signal transmission/reception apparatus is adapted to perform a transmission/reception duplex function using a bi-directional mixer at the IF band or baseband, not at the RF band. When a reception signal of the RF band is passed through the bi-directional mixer, it is converted into a signal in any one of the IF band and the baseband. Also, when a transmission signal in any one of the IF band and the baseband is passed through the bi-directional mixer, it is converted into a signal of the RF band.

  • Patent number: 8103233
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a tuner capable of receiving a television broadcasting signal of a wide band having an operating frequency bandwidth of 48 MHz˜1 GHz, wherein the tuner filters a radio frequency (RF) signal outputted from the low noise amplifier using a tunable filter. The tunable filter includes according to an embodiment an inductor and a variable capacitor as passive elements to reject harmonics. The tuner includes a mixer which mixes an output signal of the tunable filter with a local oscillator signal and converts the mixed signal to an In-phase and Quadrature IF signal, where the converted IF signal of I channel and Q channel is processed through an IF signal processor and is converted to an appropriate signal by a demodulator.

  • Patent number: 7312755
    Abstract: An internal antenna of a wireless communication terminal, in which internal style folded monopole antenna is installed, is provided. The internal antenna of a wireless communication terminal includes a folded monopole antenna. The folded monopole antenna includes two folded radiation planes having a quarter wavelength, and reactances loaded to predetermined positions of the two radiation planes. Therefore, a space for installing the antenna in the terminal is minimized, and due to the no directional characteristics, the internal antenna can be applied to a wireless communication system of dual bandwidths.
