Referring to FIG. 7, in the method for controlling a satellite broadcast receiver that supplements the strong electric field region according to the first embodiment of the present invention, first, a level detector of a demodulator is used to determine a high frequency signal passed through a high pass filter and a low noise amplifier. The strength level is detected for the entire band or a necessary channel (S110).
Subsequently, the switch controller provided in the demodulator determines whether the detected intensity level is greater than a predetermined strong electric field limit (S120).
As a result of the determination, when the detected intensity level is larger than the predetermined strong electric field limit value, the switch controller transmits a low noise amplifier off control signal to the switch control circuit (S130).
The switch control circuit receiving the low noise amplifier off control signal from the switch controller turns off the low noise amplifier (S140). Accordingly, the low noise amplifier attenuates and outputs a high frequency signal inputted at a unique attenuation rate.
On the contrary, if the detected intensity level is smaller than the predetermined strong electric field limit value, the process is repeated from step S110.
On the other hand, while the low noise amplifier is turned off, the level detector continuously detects the intensity level of the high frequency signal passing through the high pass filter and the low noise amplifier (S150).
Thereafter, the switch controller determines whether the detected intensity level is smaller than the predetermined weak electric field threshold (S160).
As a result of the determination, when the detected intensity level is smaller than the predetermined weak electric field threshold, the switch controller transmits a low noise amplifier on control signal to the switch control circuit (S170).
The switch control circuit receiving the low noise amplifier on control signal from the switch controller turns on the low noise amplifier (S180) so that the low noise amplifier amplifies and outputs a high frequency signal.
On the contrary, if the detected intensity level is larger than the predetermined weak electric field threshold, the process is repeated from step S150.
Although the above has been illustrated and described with respect to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, the present invention is not limited to the above-described specific embodiments, it is common in the technical field to which the invention belongs without departing from the spirit of the invention claimed in the claims. Various modifications can be made by those skilled in the art, and these modifications should not be individually understood from the technical spirit or the prospect of the present invention.
