For example, the wireless communication unit may include at least one of a broadcast receiving module 111, a mobile communication module 112, a wireless internet module 113, a short-range communication module 114, and a location information module 115.
The broadcast receiving module 111 receives a broadcast signal and/or broadcast associated information from an external broadcast management server via a broadcast channel. The broadcast channel may include a satellite channel and/or a terrestrial channel.

The broadcast receiving module 111 may be constructed to be suitable for various broadcasting systems that provide broadcast signals as well as the above-mentioned digital broadcasting systems. The broadcast signal and/or broadcast associated information received via the broadcast receiving module 111 may be stored in the memory 160 (or other type of storage medium).

Currently, a method for calculating position and time information uses three satellites and corrects an error of the calculated position and time information by using another satellite. In addition, the GPS module 115 can calculate speed information by continuously calculating current position information in real time.
The a/V input unit 120 is used to receive an audio or video signal. The a/V input unit 120 may include a camera 121 and a microphone 122, and the camera 121 processes image data of still pictures or video obtained by an image capturing apparatus in a video capturing mode or an image capturing mode.

The microphone 122 may implement various types of noise cancellation (or suppression) algorithms to cancel (or suppress) noise or interference generated in the course of receiving and transmitting audio signals.
The user input unit 130 may generate key input data according to a command input by a user to control various operations of the mobile terminal. The user input unit 130 allows a user to input various types of information, and may include a keyboard, dome sheet, touch pad (e.g., a touch-sensitive member that detects changes in resistance, pressure, capacitance, and the like due to being touched), scroll wheel, joystick, and the like. In particular, when the touch pad is superimposed on the display unit 151 in the form of a layer, a touch screen may be formed.

In addition, a device having an identification module (hereinafter, referred to as an "identification device") may take the form of a smart card, and thus, the identification device may be connected with the mobile terminal 100 via a port or other connection means. The interface unit 170 may be used to receive input (e.g., data information, power, etc.) from an external device and transmit the received input to one or more elements within the mobile terminal 100 or may be used to transmit data between the mobile terminal and the external device.
In addition, when the mobile terminal 100 is connected with an external cradle, the interface unit 170 may serve as a path through which power is supplied from the cradle to the mobile terminal 100 or may serve as a path through which various command signals input from the cradle are transmitted to the mobile terminal. Various command signals or power input from the cradle may be used as signals for recognizing whether the mobile terminal is accurately mounted on the cradle. The output unit 150 is configured to provide output signals (e.g., audio signals, video signals, alarm signals, vibration signals, etc.) in a visual, audio, and/or tactile manner. The output unit 150 may include a display unit 151, an audio output module 152, an alarm unit 153, and the like.

The display unit 151 may include at least one of a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), a thin film transistor LCD (TFT-LCD), an Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) display, a flexible display, a three-dimensional (3D) display, and the like. Some of these displays may be configured to be transparent to allow a user to view from the outside, which may be referred to as transparent displays, and a typical transparent display may be, for example, a TOLED (transparent organic light emitting diode) display or the like. Depending on the particular desired implementation, the mobile terminal 100 may include two or more display units (or other display devices), for example, the mobile terminal may include an external display unit (not shown) and an internal display unit (not shown). The touch screen may be used to detect a touch input pressure as well as a touch input position and a touch input area.
The audio output module 152 may convert audio data received by the wireless communication unit 110 or stored in the memory 160 into an audio signal and output as sound when the mobile terminal is in a call signal reception mode, a call mode, a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, a broadcast reception mode, or the like.

The alarm unit 153 may provide an output to notify the mobile terminal 100 of the occurrence of an event. Typical events may include call reception, message reception, key signal input, touch input, and the like.

For example, the alarm unit 153 may provide an output in the form of vibration, and when a call, a message, or some other incoming communication (incomingmunication) is received, the alarm unit 153 may provide a tactile output (i.e., vibration) to inform the user thereof. By providing such a tactile output, the user can recognize the occurrence of various events even when the user's mobile phone is in the user's pocket. The alarm unit 153 may also provide an output notifying the occurrence of an event via the display unit 151 or the audio output module 152.
The memory 160 may store software programs and the like for processing and controlling operations performed by the controller 180, or may temporarily store data (e.g., a phonebook, messages, still images, videos, and the like) that has been or will be output. Also, the memory 160 may store data regarding various ways of vibration and audio signals output when a touch is applied to the touch screen.

In addition, the controller 180 may include a multimedia module 181 for reproducing (or playing back) multimedia data, and the multimedia module 181 may be constructed within the controller 180 or may be constructed separately from the controller 180. The controller 180 may perform a pattern recognition process to recognize a handwriting input or a picture drawing input performed on the touch screen as a character or an image.
The power supply unit 190 receives external power or internal power and provides appropriate power required to operate various elements and components under the control of the controller 180.

Up to this point, mobile terminals have been described in terms of their functionality. Hereinafter, a slide-type mobile terminal among various types of mobile terminals, such as a folder-type, bar-type, swing-type, slide-type mobile terminal, and the like, will be described as an example for the sake of brevity. Accordingly, the present invention can be applied to any type of mobile terminal, and is not limited to a slide type mobile terminal.
The mobile terminal 100 as shown in fig. 1 may be configured to operate with communication systems such as wired and wireless communication systems and satellite-based communication systems that transmit data via frames or packets.
A communication system in which a mobile terminal according to the present invention is operable will now be described with reference to fig. 2.

The backhaul may be constructed according to any of several known interfaces including, for example, E1/T1, ATM, IP, PPP, frame Relay, HDSL, ADSL, or xDSL. It will be understood that a system as shown in fig. 2 may include multiple BSCs 275.
Each BS270 may serve one or more sectors (or regions), each sector covered by a multi-directional antenna or an antenna pointing in a particular direction being radially distant from the BS 270. Alternatively, each partition may be covered by two or more antennas for diversity reception. Each BS270 may be configured to support multiple frequency allocations, with each frequency allocation having a particular frequency spectrum (e.g., 1.25MHz,5MHz, etc.).
The intersection of partitions with frequency allocations may be referred to as a CDMA channel. The BS270 may also be referred to as a Base Transceiver Subsystem (BTS) or other equivalent terminology. In such a case, the term "base station" may be used to generically refer to a single BSC275 and at least one BS 270. The base stations may also be referred to as "cells". Alternatively, each sector of a particular BS270 may be referred to as a plurality of cell sites.
As shown in fig. 2, a Broadcast Transmitter (BT)295 transmits a broadcast signal to the mobile terminal 100 operating within the system. A broadcast receiving module 111 as shown in fig. 1 is provided at the mobile terminal 100 to receive a broadcast signal transmitted by the BT 295. In fig. 2, several Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites 300 are shown. The satellite 300 assists in locating at least one of the plurality of mobile terminals 100.
In fig. 2, a plurality of satellites 300 are depicted, but it is understood that useful positioning information may be obtained with any number of satellites. The GPS module 115 as shown in fig. 1 is generally configured to cooperate with satellites 300 to obtain desired positioning information. Other techniques that can track the location of the mobile terminal may be used instead of or in addition to GPS tracking techniques. In addition, at least one GPS satellite 300 may selectively or additionally process satellite DMB transmission.
As a typical operation of the wireless communication system, the BS270 receives reverse link signals from various mobile terminals 100. The mobile terminal 100 is generally engaged in conversations, messaging, and other types of communications. Each reverse link signal received by a particular base station 270 is processed within the particular BS 270. The obtained data is forwarded to the associated BSC 275. The BSC provides call resource allocation and mobility management functions including coordination of soft handoff procedures between BSs 270.

Based on the above mobile terminal hardware structure and communication system, various embodiments of the present invention are proposed.
As shown in fig. 3, a first embodiment of the present invention provides a power amplifier system, including:
the adjusting module 200 is configured to adjust a total capacitance value and/or a total inductance value of an impedance matching circuit of a radio frequency front end when a power amplifier of the radio frequency front end is in an operating state;
a current detection module 210, configured to detect a power supply current value of the power amplifier during a regulation process;
the setting module 220 is configured to determine a minimum power supply current value from the detected power supply current values, and set a total capacitance value and a total inductance value corresponding to the minimum power supply current value as a total capacitance value and a total inductance value of the impedance matching circuit in the current working state.
According to the power amplifier system in the embodiment of the invention, the PA current is detected in real time, and the total capacitance value and/or the total inductance value of the impedance matching circuit are/is intelligently adjusted, so that the PA minimum power consumption state is obtained under different communication conditions, the PA power consumption is effectively reduced, the heating is reduced, the power consumption of the whole system is further effectively reduced, the heating is reduced, and the user experience effect is improved.
The impedance matching circuit may be a pi-type network as shown in fig. 4, in which the inductor (lbtotal) is a plurality of inductors connected in series, for example, 3 inductors.
That is to say, in the embodiment of the present invention, on the premise of ensuring impedance matching, the total capacitance value or the total inductance value in the pi-type network is adjusted, and meanwhile, the current value of the PA is detected, and when the current value of the PA reaches the minimum, the adjustment of the total capacitance value or the total inductance value in the pi-type network is stopped; and setting the total capacitance value and the total inductance value corresponding to the minimum current value as the total capacitance value and the total inductance value of the impedance matching circuit in the current working state.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 5, the radio frequency front end includes a PA, a pi network impedance matching circuit, a filter, a radio frequency switch, an antenna, an adjusting module, a current detecting module, and a setting module.
The regulation module 200 may be implemented by a combination of a capacitive regulator and a plurality of control switches.
When the capacitance adjuster DA (Digital to Analog) changes the output voltage of each capacitor, the size of each capacitor can be controlled.
The plurality of control switches may enable adjustment of the total inductance value. For example, as shown in fig. 6, the total inductance includes L1, L2, and L3, and the plurality of control switches are S1, S2, and S3; closing a control switch S1 shorts the inductor L1 associated with that control switch, which corresponds to a reduction in the total inductance, and conversely, opening the switch corresponds to an increase in the inductance of the circuit.
The current detection module 210 may be implemented by high precision current detection. For example, the supply current of the PA passes through the micro resistor R1 to form a voltage, the voltage is amplified by a precision amplifier and then is collected by an Analog Digital (AD) converter (AD), and the collected voltage and the PA current are in a direct proportional relationship. The total PA current can be calculated by the processor.
The working flow of the system of the embodiment of the invention is briefly described.
For example:
step 1, detecting the current value A1 by using a high-precision current detection amplifier when the PA is in a working state.
And step 2, controlling the capacitance value of the capacitance regulator through DA, and detecting the current value A2 in the state of changing the capacitance value.
And step 3, comparing the values of A1 and A2, and changing the capacitance value of the capacitance regulator again to detect the PA current A3.
And 4, selecting the minimum value from the current values, and setting the capacitance value corresponding to the minimum current value as the current total capacitance value of the capacitor.
For another example:
step 1, adjusting the inductance value of the inductor when the PA is in a working state.
And 2, detecting the current value of the PA corresponding to each inductance value.
And 3, selecting the minimum value from the current values, and setting the total inductance value corresponding to the minimum current value as the current total inductance value of the inductor.
The following steps are repeated:
and step 1, adjusting the capacitance value of the adjusting capacitor on the premise of ensuring impedance matching.
And step 2, adjusting the inductance value of the inductor.
And step 3, detecting the current value of the PA corresponding to each capacitance value and inductance value.
And 4, selecting the minimum value from the current values, setting the capacitance value corresponding to the minimum current value as the total capacitance value of the capacitor, and setting the inductance value corresponding to the minimum current value as the total inductance value of the inductor.
According to the embodiment of the invention, the PA current is detected in real time through the working process, and the matching is intelligently adjusted, so that the minimum power consumption state is obtained under different communication conditions; the power consumption of the whole system can be better reduced, the heat emission is reduced, and the user experience effect is improved.
