Abstract
Abstract A mobile phone set includes a base unit and at least one handset belonging to the base unit. In the base unit, a receiving section 11 receives a first modulated wave S 1 which is a digital modulated wave from TX 3, and a demodulating section 12 demodulates the received wave, and further a decoding section 13 decodes the demodulated wave. Further, a detecting section 17 detects the demodulated wave. Further, a detecting section 17 detects that the decoded signal is of a calling signal for the handsets 2-1 and 2-2 associated with the base unit, and after the detection a controlling section 25 instructs a D/A converting section 14 to D/a convert a digital signal decoded by the decoding section 13 to an analog signal and a modulating section 15 to modulate the analog signal. A transmitting section 16 transmits a second modulated wave S 2 as the analog modulated wave to the handset 2-1 or 2-2. Further, in the base unit 1, a receiving section 18 receives a third modulated wave S 3 as the analog modulated wave from the handset 2-1 for example, and a demodulating section 19 demodulates the received wave.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
320 words
A mobile phone set comprising: a base unit and at least one handset, said base unit being for digital radio communication with a fixed transmitting station and for analog radio communication with said handset, said base unit comprising: a first receiving section for receiving a first modulated digital wave transmitted from the fixed transmitting station and for converting the first modulated wave to a first modulated digital signal; a first demodulating section for demodulating said first modulated signal to create a first demodulated signal; a first detecting section for detecting whether or not the first demodulated signal is of a signal to the base unit; a first modulating section for modulating said demodulated signal to generate a second modulated analog signal for transmission to the handset; a first radio transmitting section for converting the second modulated analog signal to a second modulated analog wave and for transmitting the second modulated analog wave to said handset; a second receiving section for receiving a third modulated analog wave transmitted from said handset and for converting the third modulated analog wave to a third modulated analog signal; a second demodulating section for demodulating said third modulated signal to create a second demodulated signal; a second detecting section for detecting whether or not the second demodulated signal is of a signal of itself; a controlling section for instructing radio transmission to said handset after receiving a detection signal from said first detecting section and for instructing radio transmission to said fixed transmitting station after receiving a detecting signal from said second detecting section; a second modulating section for modulating the second demodulated signal from said second demodulating section to create a fourth modulated digital signal for transmission to said fixed transmitting station; and a second radio transmitting section for converting the fourth modulated digital signal to a fourth modulated digital wave and for transmitting the fourth modulated digital wave to said fixed transmitting station.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
320 words
A mobile phone set comprising: a base unit and at least one handset, said base unit being for digital radio communication with a fixed transmitting station and for analog radio communication with said handset, said base unit comprising: a first receiving section for receiving a first modulated digital wave transmitted from the fixed transmitting station and for converting the first modulated wave to a first modulated digital signal; a first demodulating section for demodulating said first modulated signal to create a first demodulated signal; a first detecting section for detecting whether or not the first demodulated signal is of a signal to the base unit; a first modulating section for modulating said demodulated signal to generate a second modulated analog signal for transmission to the handset; a first radio transmitting section for converting the second modulated analog signal to a second modulated analog wave and for transmitting the second modulated analog wave to said handset; a second receiving section for receiving a third modulated analog wave transmitted from said handset and for converting the third modulated analog wave to a third modulated analog signal; a second demodulating section for demodulating said third modulated signal to create a second demodulated signal; a second detecting section for detecting whether or not the second demodulated signal is of a signal of itself; a controlling section for instructing radio transmission to said handset after receiving a detection signal from said first detecting section and for instructing radio transmission to said fixed transmitting station after receiving a detecting signal from said second detecting section; a second modulating section for modulating the second demodulated signal from said second demodulating section to create a fourth modulated digital signal for transmission to said fixed transmitting station; and a second radio transmitting section for converting the fourth modulated digital signal to a fourth modulated digital wave and for transmitting the fourth modulated digital wave to said fixed transmitting station.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
151 words
A mobile phone set according to claim 1 wherein each said handset comprises: a receiving section for receiving the second modulated analog wave which is an analog modulated wave from the base unit; a demodulating section for demodulating the second modulated wave; an electric signal-speech converting section for converting the demodulated signal to a speech; a detecting section for detecting that the demodulated wave is of a signal of itself; a speech-electric signal converting section for converting a speech signal to an electric signal; a modulating section for modulating the electric signal from the speech-electric signal converting section; a transmitting section for transmitting the third modulated wave from the modulating section as an analog modulated wave; a calling section for issuing an informing signal when said detecting section detects that the demodulated signal is of a signal of itself; and a controlling section for controlling each operation of each circuit component.
