Abstract: A side thruster module, comprises: a cavity-type body skin extending in a longitudinal direction; a first thruster arranged in the body skin and extending in a longitudinal direction; and a conversion nozzle arranged in the body skin and extending in a radial direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, for converting a direction of a thrust generated from the first thruster in the longitudinal direction into the radial direction. A large number of thrusters can be mounted at the side thruster module thus to generate a high thrust, and the side thruster module can be slim in the radial direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for controlling the input 3rd order Intercept Point (IIP3) in a multi-mode multi-band wireless transceiver. The apparatus includes: a mixer for down-converting an incoming wireless signal which is received through each frequency band and is then low noise-amplified; a baseband chip for providing mixer IIP3 control information according to a current mode and transmission power level of the wireless transceiver; and a mixer IIP3 controller for controlling the IIP3 of the mixer based on the IIP3 control information. In a wireless transceiver without a band pass filter between a low noise amplifier and a mixer, the apparatus does not always increase the IIP3 of the mixer, but increases the IIP3 of the mixer in a wireless transceiver only when it is necessary to increase the IIP3. Therefore, the apparatus can reduce wasteful power consumption.
