Abstract
Abstract A dual-bandwidth cellular telephone switching apparatus comprising a signal receiver, the signal receiver including an antenna for receiving radio frequency signals on a field corresponding to frequency bands of at least two different cellular telephone systems, a duplexer for passing a desired frequency band component of output signals from the antenna, a low-noise amplifier for amplifying a feeble signal from the duplexer, a band pass filter for passing a desired frequency band component of an output signal from the low-noise amplifier, a synthesizer for detecting a channel being presently serviced and a mixer for mixing an output signal from the band pass filter with an output signal from the synthesizer to produce an intermediate frequency signal. The dual-bandwidth cellular telephone switching apparatus further comprises a switching section including first and second switching circuits. The first and second switching circuits selectively switch power to the two different cellular telephone systems under control of a central controller to selectively transfer an output signal from the mixer in the signal receiver thereto.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
164 words
A dual-bandwidth cellular telephone switching apparatus comprising a signal receiver, said signal receiver including an antenna for receiving radio frequency signals on a field corresponding to frequency bands of at least two different cellular telephone systems, a duplexer for passing a desired frequency band component of output signals from said antenna, a low-noise amplifier for amplifying a feeble signal from said duplexer, a band pass filter for passing a desired frequency band component of an output signal from said low-noise amplifier, a synthesizer for detecting a channel being presently serviced and a mixer for mixing an output signal from said band pass filter with an output signal from said synthesizer to produce an intermediate frequency signal, wherein the improvement comprises: switching means including first and second switching circuits, said first and second switching circuits selectively switching power to said two different cellular telephone systems under control of a central controller to selectively transfer an output signal from said mixer in said signal receiver thereto.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
164 words
A dual-bandwidth cellular telephone switching apparatus comprising a signal receiver, said signal receiver including an antenna for receiving radio frequency signals on a field corresponding to frequency bands of at least two different cellular telephone systems, a duplexer for passing a desired frequency band component of output signals from said antenna, a low-noise amplifier for amplifying a feeble signal from said duplexer, a band pass filter for passing a desired frequency band component of an output signal from said low-noise amplifier, a synthesizer for detecting a channel being presently serviced and a mixer for mixing an output signal from said band pass filter with an output signal from said synthesizer to produce an intermediate frequency signal, wherein the improvement comprises: switching means including first and second switching circuits, said first and second switching circuits selectively switching power to said two different cellular telephone systems under control of a central controller to selectively transfer an output signal from said mixer in said signal receiver thereto.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
91 words
A dual-bandwidth cellular telephone switching apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein each of said first and second switching circuits includes: a buffer for buffering the output signal from said mixer in said signal receiver; a power supply for supplying the power to said buffer under the control of said central controller when a cellular telephone is powered; an intermediate frequency filter for filtering an output signal from said buffer; and a detector for detecting an output signal from said intermediate frequency filter to produce an audio signal and data.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
144 words
A dual-bandwidth cellular telephone switching apparatus as set forth in claim 2, wherein said central controller is performed to supply the power to said first switching circuit upon receiving the output signal from said mixer in said signal receiver, to check whether the received signal is normal, to perform the signal reception continuously if it is checked that the received signal is normal and, if it is checked that the received signal is not normal, interrupting the power to said first switching circuit and supplying the power to said second switching circuit, to check whether the received signal is normal and to perform the signal reception continuously if it is checked that the received signal is normal and, if it is checked that the received signal is not normal, recognizing that the cellular telephone is beyond a service area and stopping the signal reception.
