Abstract:
A mobile communication apparatus comprising:radio frequency (RF) amplification means for amplifying a received radio signal to output an RF-amplified signal;power supply means for supplying power to the RF amplification means;signal conversion means for converting one of the RF-amplified signal and the received radio signal from said RF amplification means into an intermediate frequency (IF) signal;detection means for detecting the IF signal output from said signal conversion means; andcontrol means for detecting a reception sensitivity of the received radio signal on the basis of the RF-amplified signal from said RF amplification means, and controlling supply of power from said power supply means to said RF amplification means and performing bypass control on said RF amplification means on the basis of the detected reception sensitivity and a predetermined reception sensitivity.
