  • Patent number: 8872984
    Abstract: Provided is an LTE-system mobile communication terminal in which a reduction in terminal size and a reduction in the number of components is desired when a terrestrial digital television broadcast is to be received. Two antennas from among terrestrial digital television broadcast receiving antennas are switched and controlled so as to also be used as transmitting/receiving antennas from LTE communication, and the reception diversity is switched to either a 2-system combination or 4-system combination in accordance with whether the television broadcast is in the VHF band or UHF band. As a result, the number of antennas for example can be reduced and the terminal costs and size can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 8630104
    Abstract: A switching power supply has a function of improving a power factor, and outputs insulated DC. The switching power supply performs two kinds of controls for switching devices exclusive to each other: controlling of a switching device provided in a direction in which the discharging of a primary-side smoothing capacitor is prohibited at the time of suspension of commercially available AC power and near the zero cross of an input voltage; and causing a switching device provided between the output side of a third winding and the primary-side smoothing capacitor to control a charging current, thereby charging a capacitor in a boosted manner.
