Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 74 words
A circuit for use in Time Division Multiple Access radio phone systems to produce the operating voltage, comprising - a power source (1), - a switch-mode power supply (2) - a capacitor (3), for storing energy provided by the power source, characterized in that means is provided (4) for controlling operation of the switch-mode power supply (2) such that it is keyed to operate outside the reception cycles and/or transmission cycles of the signal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 30 words
A circuit according to claim 1, characterized in that the keying of the operation of a switch-mode power supply (2) is synchronized with the aid of a TDMA frame pulse.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 26 words
A circuit according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the storage capacitor (3) is positioned as close to the point of consumption as possible.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 29 words
A circuit according to any preceding claim, characterized in that the circuit has been implemented with the aid of small-size electrolyte capacitors of high capacity and low internal resistance.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 81 words
A circuit for a radio telephone operable in a time division multiple access system in which respective time slots are allocated for transmission and reception, the circuit comprising a power source regulated by a switch-mode power supply providing peak voltages during operating periods for charging a storage capacitor to a desired power level, and means for controlling operation of the switch-mode power supply such that the switch-mode power supply operates only during periods outside the transmission and/or reception time slots allocated.
