  • Publication number: 20060025152
    Abstract: Disclosed are an apparatus and a method of controlling diversity reception for a mobile communication terminal combined with a satellite digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB) receiver, which may control operations of an antenna and a tuner of the satellite DMB receiver using position information obtained by global positioning system (GPS). There is provided an apparatus for controlling diversity reception for a mobile communication terminal combined with a satellite DMB receiver comprising: a GPS antenna for receiving information on position of the mobile communication terminal using GPS; and a main control unit for performing general controls for the apparatus, checking position of the mobile communication terminal by using the position information received through the GPS antenna, and controlling on/off of the tuner unit according to position of the mobile communication terminal to receive DMB signals only through a set of antenna and RF tuner that can best receive the DMB signals.
