Definitions
- the invention relates to a radio telephone with an integrated clock.
- radio telephones such as mobile telephones operated in the cellular network or cordless telephones operated in the local network, usually do not have an internal clock. If an internal clock is integrated in the radio telephone, a quartz-controlled clock is implemented, the accuracy of which is limited by the components used, in particular by the clock quartz. The clock must be set manually. In order to prevent the clock from having to be reset after a replacement of the supply battery for the radio telephone or after a complete discharge of the supply battery, an additional battery is required for the operation of the clock. Button cells are used for this purpose, which increases the price of the radio telephone, the function of the watch is determined by the durability of the button cell, and problems and costs arise in the disposal of old radio telephones.
- a radio telephone with an integrated clock which has a radio clock receiver for receiving and evaluating a synchronization nization time signal for the integrated clock.
- the radio telephone is thus expanded so that it can receive and evaluate a real-time transmitter, for example the transmitter DCF77 from the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesweg Braunschweig.
- a real-time transmitter for example the transmitter DCF77 from the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesweg Braunschweig.
- the integrated clock can be synchronized and set automatically, so that no additional battery is required to maintain clock operation.
- Time zone shifts that may need to be taken into account can be taken into account by entering a time offset when displaying the time.
- the radio telephone advantageously has a quartz-controlled integrated clock which is synchronized by the radio clock receiver and a control device with the aid of the received and evaluated synchronization time signals from the real-time transmitter.
- the synchronization advantageously takes place at fixed time intervals and in particular after the
- the radio clock receiver consists of an antenna, an oscillating circuit and a receiver for the synchronization time signal.
- the receiver for the synchronization time signal and the receiver for the radio telephone are advantageously one unit.
- the receiver and the evaluation for the synchronization time signal can be integrated in the baseband receiver chip of the radio telephone. This has the advantage that receiver functions can be used several times both for the radio clock receiver and for the receiver for the radio telephone.
- Fig. 1 Block diagram of a radio telephone with an integrated clock and radio clock receiver.
- Fig. 1 shows a block diagram of a radio telephone 1 that a transmitter / receiver part 2 has in a known manner that is connected to an antenna 3.
- the transmitting / receiving part 2 essentially consists of a high-frequency transmitter 4 and a high-frequency receiver 5, which can be set to the channel to be received with the aid of a local oscillator 6.
- a modulator 7 is connected to the high-frequency transmitter 4 and a demodulator 8 to the high-frequency receiver 5.
- the modulator 7 and the demodulator 8 are formed on a control / communication circuit 9 for multiplexing or de-ultiplexing the received signals in the time slot method, for synchronizing the signals, for channel coding or decoding and for recording and reproducing the signals.
- the radio telephone 1 also has a quartz-controlled integrated clock 10, which essentially has a clock quartz.
- the quartz-controlled integrated clock 10 is designed so that the time is synchronized with a synchronization time signal.
- a radio clock receiver 11 is provided for receiving a real-time transmitter.
- the reception frequency for the real-time signal can, for example, on the real-time transmitter DCF77 of the physical
- the radio clock receiver 11 is connected to a control device 12 which is used to evaluate the synchronization time signal of the real-time transmitter and to synchronize the quartz-controlled integrated clock
- tion of a time or a date from the time signal of the internal clock 10 can be done with the help of the microprocessor in the control / communication circuit 9. This can be done, for example, by suitable programming of the control / communication circuit 9.
- the radio telephone 1 has a microphone 14 and a loudspeaker 15 in a known manner, which are coupled to the control / communication circuit 9 via amplifiers (not shown).
- the radio telephone 1 is synchronized with a quartz 16.
