  • Publication number: 20130225095
    Abstract: A communication terminal apparatus to reduce an intermodulation noise between channels may perform wireless communication at different frequencies using a first channel and a second channel. The communication terminal apparatus may include a sensing unit to measure a signal to noise ratio (SNR) in a communication associated with the second channel, a determining unit to determine whether the measured SNR is less than a first threshold, and an output controller to decrease a strength of an output signal in the communication associated with the first channel if the measured SNR is less than the first threshold, and to increase the strength of the output signal in the communication associated with the first channel until the SNR is substantially similar to the first threshold if the determining unit determines that the measured SNR is greater than the first threshold.
