| 20110116422 | RADIO TRANSMISSION SIGNAL DETECTION CIRCUIT - A detection circuit has a detector unit for detecting a transmitted signal from a mobile radio terminal. The detection circuit forms a part of a circuit arrangement for processing or influencing received signals and transmitted signals associated with the mobile radio terminal (accessory circuit). It is involved in the accessory circuit via a switching means, which is arranged in a transmission path upstream of at least one transmission power amplifier which can be activated upon detection of a transmitted signal, and is coupled to the transmission path via a coupling element which is arranged downstream of the transmission power amplifier. At the start of the transmission burst, the whole power of the transmitted signal is first of all supplied to the detector unit before said detector unit changes over the transmitted signal to the transmission power amplifier by operating the switching means. The detection circuit has a self-hold function, so that the detector unit leaves the accessory circuit in its operating state which is provided for the presence of a transmitted signal, even after the switching means has been changed over, at least until the transmission power amplifier has completed the circuit and the component of the amplified transmitted signal which is coupled out by means of the coupling element is applied to the detector unit. | 05-19-2011 |
