  • Patent number: 7574232
    Abstract: A mobile communication terminal and signal receiving method thereof are disclosed, by which GPS and DMB signals can be received using a dual band antenna. The present invention includes a CDMA-mobile broadcast dual band antenna receiving a CDMA or mobile broadcast signal, a mobile broadcast-GPS dual band antenna receiving a mobile broadcast of GPS signal, a first means for diverging the CDMA or mobile broadcast signal received by the CDMA-mobile broadcast dual band antenna, a second means for diverging the mobile broadcast or GPS signal received by the mobile broadcast-GPS dual band antenna, and a third means for selecting either the mobile broadcast signal outputted from the first means or the mobile broadcast signal outputted from the second means if the selected mobile broadcast signal has a signal quality better than that of the non-selected mobile broadcast signal.

  • Patent number: 7493096
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for processing DMB signals in a DMB receiver such as a mobile communication terminal are disclosed to simplify the DMB receiver. The apparatus for processing DMB signals received via at least two antennas includes: an antenna switching unit for selecting one of at least two signals received via the two antennas; a DMB path unit for pre-processing the selected signal; and a DMB chipset unit for detecting a signal level of the pre-processed signal, and controlling the antenna switching unit, wherein the DMB chipset unit controls the antenna switching unit to select the other one of the two signals according to the signal level detected by the DMB chipset unit.
