  • Patent number: 7787898
    Abstract: Receiving sensitivity deterioration in wireless communication due to a spurious radiation wave generated from a card reader/writer is suppressed in a case where a mobile phone terminal is provided with a contactless IC card reader/writer or a contactless IC card. The mobile phone terminal provided with the contactless IC card reader/writer performs measurement of a wireless status upon reception (step S1) and transmission power wetting (step S2), and when an instruction to start a reader/writer function is inputted from a user (step S3), wireless status deterioration due to spurious radiation from the reader/writer is predicted (step S4). Then, the mobile phone terminal judges whether control to reduce the transmission speed is necessary or not, on the basis of a value of the deterioration predicted wireless status (step S5), and when judged necessary, the transmission speed is reduced (step S6).

  • Patent number: 7500117
    Abstract: A radio communication terminal has a plurality of matching circuits that optimize the efficiency of a power amplifier for a range of different battery voltages. A first matching circuit optimizes the efficiency of the power amplifier for a battery voltage higher than a predetermined threshold value. A second matching circuit optimizes the efficiency of the power amplifier at a voltage lower than the threshold value. A control section compares a detection result of a battery voltage from a voltage monitor section with the threshold value, and performs switching between the plurality of matching circuits.

  • Patent number: 7031662
    Abstract: In a communication terminal that is capable of carrying out communications based on a plurality of communication standards, for example, a cellular phone, information representing a reception carrier frequency of a wireless channel being received by a cellular-phone functional block is output from a CPU to a contactless-IC-card-reader/writer functional block. In the contactless-IC-card-reader/writer functional block, a controller controls a switching circuit to switch a transmission carrier frequency being used so that harmonic components of an electromagnetic wave radiated from a coil antenna will not work as an electromagnetic-interference wave that affects reception sensitivity of the cellular-phone functional block.
