Analog-to-digital conversion of the received signal allows the DSP 1580 to perform more complex communications functions, such as demodulation and decoding.
- signals to be transmitted to the network 1401 are processed (e.g. modulated and encoded) by the DSP 1580 and are then provided to the transmitter 1520 for digital to analog conversion, frequency up conversion, filtering, amplification and transmission to the communication network 1401 (or networks) via the antenna 1560.
- the DSP 1580 provides for control of the receiver 1500 and the transmitter 1520 .
- gains applied to communications signals in the receiver 1500 and transmitter 1520 may be adaptively controlled through automatic gain control algorithms implemented in the DSP 1580 .
- a received signal such as a text message or web page download
- the communications subsystem 1001 is input to the processing device 1800.
- the received signal is then further processed by the processing device 1800 for an output to the display 1600 , or alternatively to some other auxiliary I/O device 1060 .
- a device may also be used to compose data items, such as e-mail messages, using the keypad 1400 and/or some other auxiliary I/O device 1060 , such as a touchpad, a rocker switch, a thumb-wheel, or some other type of input device.
- the composed data items may then be transmitted over the communications network 1401 via the communications subsystem 1001.
- a voice communications mode In a voice communications mode, overall operation of the device is substantially similar to the data communications mode, except that received signals are output to a speaker 1100, and signals for transmission are generated by a microphone 1120.
- Alternative voice or audio I/O subsystems such as a voice message recording subsystem, may also be implemented on the device 1000.
- the display 1600 may also be utilized in voice communications mode, for example to display the identity of a calling party, the duration of a voice call, or other voice call related information.
- the short-range communications subsystem enables communication between the mobile device 1000 and other proximate systems or devices, which need not necessarily be similar devices.
- the short-range communications subsystem may include an infrared device and associated circuits and components, a BluetoothTM communications module to provide for communication with similarly-enabled systems and devices, or a near field communications (NFC) sensor for communicating with a NFC device or NFC tag via NFC communications.
