Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus comprising: a main body; a display unit rotatably attached to the main body via a coupling portion; first and second antennas provided in the display unit, the first antenna configured to receive a reception signal of a first frequency band, the second antenna configured to receive a reception signal of a third frequency band, wherein at least a part of the third frequency band overlaps the first frequency band; first and second wireless communication modules provided in the main body, the first wireless communication module configured to transmit a transmission signal of the first frequency band, the second wireless communication module configured to transmit a transmission signal of the third frequency band; a first mixing/distributing device provided in the display unit, the first mixing/distributing device configured to convert the reception signal of the first frequency band that is input from the first antenna to a reception signal of a second frequency band not overlapping the third frequency band, and to output the reception signal of the second frequency band and the reception signal of the third frequency band that is input from the second antenna to a cable inserted in the coupling portion; and a second mixing/distributing device provided in the main body and coupled to the first mixing/distributing device via the cable, the second mixing/distributing device configured to input from the cable the reception signal of the second frequency band and the reception signal of the third frequency band, to convert the input reception signal of the second frequency band to the reception signal of the first frequency band, to output the reception signal of the first frequency band to the first wireless communication module, and to output the reception signal of the third frequency band to the second wireless communication module; wherein the second mixing/distributing device is configured to convert the transmission signal of the first frequency band that is input from the first wireless communication module to a transmission signal of the second frequency band, to output to the cable the transmission signal of the second frequency band, and to output to the cable the transmission signal of the third frequency band that is input from the second wireless communication module, and wherein the first mixing/distributing device is configured to convert the transmission signal of the second frequency band that is input from the cable to the transmission signal of the first frequency band, to output to the first antenna the transmission signal of the first frequency band, and to output to the second antenna the transmission signal of the third frequency band that is input from the cable.
