Description
본 발명은 셀룰라 통신부와 위성통신부를 가지는 듀얼모드 이동통신단말기에 관한 것으로, 특히 위성통신부를 착탈할 수 있는 위성통신부 착탈형 듀얼모드 이통통신단말기에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a dual mode mobile communication terminal having a cellular communication unit and a satellite communication unit, and more particularly, to a detachable dual mode mobile communication terminal of a satellite communication unit capable of attaching and detaching a satellite communication unit.
도 1은 종래의 이동통신단말기의 블록구성도이다.1 is a block diagram of a conventional mobile communication terminal.
이하 도 1을 참조하여 종래의 듀얼모드 이동통신단말기를 설명하면, 우선 제어부(130)는 전반적인 동작을 제어한다. 듀얼모드 이동통신단말기는 두 개의 무선주파수부를 가지며, 상기 두 개의 무선주파수부 중 하나는 셀룰라통신용 무선주파수부(110)이고, 다른 하나는 위성통신용 무선주파수부(300)이다. 상기 셀룰라통신용 무선주파수부(110)는 셀룰라 기지국에서 송신된 제 1무선신호를 제 1안테나(ANT1)를 통해 수신하고, 중간주파수로 변환하여 출력한다. 상기 위성통신용 무선주파수부(300)는 위성에서 송신한 제 2무선신호를 제 2안테나(ANT2)를 통해 수신하고, 이를 중간주파수의 신호로 변환하여 출력한다. 통상적으로 듀얼모드 이동통신단말기는 셀룰라 통신이 가능한 지역에서는 셀룰라용 무선주파수부(110)를 동작시켜 셀룰라망을 자동 혹은 수동으로 선택하여 통신하며, 그 기능을 수행할 수 없는 지역에서는 위성통신용 무선주파수부(300)를 선택하여 통신을 한다. 베이스밴드부(120)는 상기 셀룰라통신용 무선주파수부(110)와 위성통신용 무선주파수부(300)로부터 출력된 중간주파수를 입력받아 기저대역신호로 복조하여 출력한다. 전원부(200)는 배터리로 구성되며, 듀얼모드 이동통신단말기 전반에 전원을 공급한다.Hereinafter, referring to a conventional dual mode mobile communication terminal with reference to FIG. 1, first, the controller 130 controls the overall operation. The dual mode mobile communication terminal has two radio frequency units, one of the two radio frequency units is a radio frequency unit 110 for cellular communication, and the other is a radio frequency unit 300 for satellite communication. The cellular radio frequency unit 110 receives the first radio signal transmitted from the cellular base station through the first antenna ANT1, converts the intermediate frequency into an intermediate frequency, and outputs the converted first frequency. The radio frequency unit 300 for satellite communication receives the second radio signal transmitted from the satellite through the second antenna ANT2, converts the signal into an intermediate frequency signal, and outputs the converted signal. In general, the dual mode mobile communication terminal operates by operating the cellular radio frequency unit 110 in a cellular communication capable area, and automatically selects and communicates a cellular network. In an area where a cellular communication cannot be performed, radio frequency for satellite communication is performed. The unit 300 is selected to communicate. The baseband unit 120 receives an intermediate frequency output from the cellular radio frequency unit 110 and the satellite radio frequency unit 300 and demodulates the baseband signal into a baseband signal. The power supply unit 200 is composed of a battery, and supplies power to the dual mode mobile communication terminal.
이런 기능을 수행하기 위하여 통상적인 듀얼모드 위성이동통신단말기는 일체형으로 구성하여 기능을 구현하여 사용하였다. 그러나 현재 셀룰라 영역은 세밀해지고 있는 추세여서 사용자는 위성통신 서비스보다는 셀룰라 서비스를 더 많이 받고 있다.In order to perform this function, a typical dual-mode satellite mobile communication terminal is used by implementing a function as an integral type. However, as the cellular area is becoming more sophisticated, users are receiving more cellular services than satellite communication services.
상술한 바와 같이 듀얼모드 이동통신단말기는 셀룰라 통신부와 위성통신부가 일체형으로 구성되어 있기 때문에 사용자는 일반 셀룰라 영역에서 셀룰라 통신부를 사용할 경우에도 위성통신부를 같이 사용하게 된다. 이로 인해 듀얼모드 이동통신단말기는 크기, 가격, 무게등이 커지게 되며, 배터리 수명이 짧아지는 문제점이 있다.As described above, since the dual mode mobile communication terminal is integrated with the cellular communication unit and the satellite communication unit, the user may use the satellite communication unit even when the cellular communication unit is used in the general cellular area. As a result, the dual mode mobile communication terminal increases in size, price, weight, etc., and has a problem of shortening battery life.
따라서 본 발명의 목적은 듀얼모드 이동통신단말기의 기능 구성을 모듈별로, 즉 셀룰라 영역에서는 위성통신부를 분리하여 사용하고, 위성통신 영역에서는 위성통신부를 장착하여 사용하는 이동통신부 착탈형 듀얼모드 이동통신단말기를 제공함에 있다.Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to detach the dual-mode mobile communication terminal using the functional configuration of the dual-mode mobile communication terminal by module, that is, using a separate satellite communication unit in the cellular area, and equipped with a satellite communication unit in the satellite communication area. In providing.
본 발명의 목적을 달성하기 위해서 본 발명은 제 1통신 모드에서 통신을 하는 주통신부와 제 2통신 모드에서 통신을 하는 제 1분리부를 가지는 듀얼모드 이동통신단말기에 있어서, 상기 상기 제 1통신 모드 시 제 1분리부를 상기 주통신부로부터 분리하여 제 1통신 모드로 통화하고, 상기 제 2통신 모드에서 상기 주통신부에 상기 제 1분리부를 부착하여 제 2통신 모드로 통화함을 특징으로 한다.In order to achieve the object of the present invention, the present invention provides a dual mode mobile communication terminal having a main communication unit communicating in a first communication mode and a first separation unit communicating in a second communication mode, The first separator may be separated from the main communication unit in the first communication mode, and the first separator may be attached to the main communication unit in the second communication mode to communicate in the second communication mode.
