  • Patent number: 5903850
    Abstract: The invention relates to a mobile phone (1) and specifically to an interface for connecting external signals received from and transmitted to external devices to the mobile phone, and to an interface configuration for connecting the mobile phone to external signals. In the mobile phone of the invention, external digital signals are basically received and transmitted over a coaxial line (6) connected to an RF signal connector (3). In the interface configuration of the invention an interface unit (31) is provided at one end of the coaxial line (6), the interface unit controlling the transmission of external signals connected to connectors (35, 60, 61a, 61b, 61c) over the coaxial line (6) between the mobile phone (1) and the external devices. In one embodiment of the invention power supply to the mobile phone also takes place over the RF connector (3) and the coaxial line (6) connected to this.

  • Patent number: 5844166
    Abstract: In the present invention the cover-like part (21) of an RF shield is manufactured from a transparent material, e.g., plastic, and unplated areas that function as light conductors (22) are left in the conductive plating covering the shield. The present invention combines an RF shield and a light conductor into one structure whose manufacturing process is quite easy to control. The present invention eliminates the necessity of having separate plates that function as light conductors.

  • Patent number: 5365410
    Abstract: The invention relates to an EMC enclosure (4) used in radiotelephones as protection of the radiotelephone components, the enclosure (4) having no separate cover in order to service or to repair the components. Between the cover (16) and the side walls (15) the EMC enclosure has necks (7,11) with openings (8,12,13,14) between them. Due to these openings it is possible to open the cover (16) with a suitable tool. When the cover has (16) been opened it is possible to solder it back or to use a repair cover.

  • Patent number: 5291474
    Abstract: A procedure is utilized for forming the transmission and reception frequencies required for the operation of a digital radio telephone based on time division multiplex access, in particular, in a radio telephone for the GSM system. According to the procedure, the mixer frequencies used in the transmitter and the receiver of the radio telephone are formed by a synthesizer and a basic oscillator commmon to both the receiver and transmitter. The clock frequency for the logic of the radio telephone and the RF reference frequency to the synthesizer are produced by dividing the output frequency of the common basic oscillator.

  • Patent number: 5208494
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method by which transients can be eliminated in an apparatus comprising a current source and several functional blocks at least one of which produces transients in the operating voltage. According to the invention, a switch separates the current source and the transient-producing block from the other blocks during the time that transients are being produced and connects the current source to the other blocks and to an energy-storing buffer during the time that transients are not being produced.

  • Patent number: 5109538
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a circuitry for widening the power control range of radio telephone. A radio frequency signal is amplified in a controllable power amplifier (1). According to the invention, after the amplifier a controllable switch (4) is connected, which, while in a first state, does not substantially attenuate the RF power emitted transmitted from the power amplifier (1). The first power control range of the transmitter is thus produced. When the switch (4) is in a second state, it directs part of the RF power transmitted from the power amplifier (1) to a resistive element (R1) and permits part of the RF power to be transmitted to the output (RFout) of the transmitter. A second power control range is produced in this manner.

  • Patent number: 5006667
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a shielding housing for shielding a printed circuit board, or a part of it, from disturbances caused by electromagnetic interference (EMI). In the method, during the manufacturing phase of the printed circuit board there are cut in the board slots (U) through the printed circuit board (pc), the length of the slots being L. The first part (2) of the housing is soldered to the printed circuit board (pc) in such a way that it approximately interconnects the ends of the cut slots (U). This first part constitutes one side wall of the shielding housing. The second part (1) of the shielding housing is made up of a cover (5) and three side walls, in which there is formed an inside groove having a height which corresponds to the thickness of the printed circuit board.
