A steady state detection circuit determining whether an output of a phase comparison circuit in the hybrid control type PLL circuit frequently changes is provided, determination that a steady state has not been reached is made if the output of the phase comparison circuit does not change for a while, determination that the steady state has been reached if the output of the phase comparison circuit frequently changes, and based on a result of the determination, a control width of controlling a oscillation frequency of a voltage controlled oscillator circuit by a digital control signal is changed or (and) a frequency of changing an analog control signal is changed. Thereby, a control width of the oscillation frequency by the digital control signal after reaching the steady state can be reduced without damaging convergence before reaching the steady state. Therefore, the phase jitter in the steady state can be reduced.

Abstract: The disclosed invention makes mobile terminals physically impossible to use in specific spaces without using radio waves of so high intensity as to affect medical devices and without requiring telephone companies that operate wireless communications systems (WCS) to take special measures. Cooperation of a telephone company on the implementation of making mobile terminals physically impossible to use in specific spaces makes mobile terminals provided by the telephone company easy to use. Pseudo signals of downlink pilot signal in WCS are emitted off the pilot timing in specific spaces. Uplink channel radio waves in cooperative telephone compannies' WCS are relayed and communication path is disconnected if the uplink channel radio waves are for communication of an attribute banned in the space. Communication path can be disconnected without increasing the intensity of radio waves so high.
