Patent ID: 8811916

Claim:
A dual-standby terminal comprising: a plurality of wireless communication units of which at least two wireless communication units are configured for communication with respectively different networks; a plurality of low-noise amplifiers coupled to respective reception paths of each wireless communication unit in which for each respective wireless communication unit of the plurality of wireless communication units, the plurality of low-noise amplifiers are selectively activated by respective wireless communications units so that part of the plurality of low noise amplifiers remain enabled while the remainder of the plurality of low-noise amplifiers are disabled; and a controller for enabling all of the plurality of low-noise amplifiers that are connected in a serial connection when the dual-standby terminal performs a simultaneous call with respectively different networks, and for enabling only part of the plurality of low-noise amplifiers in which a remainder of the plurality of low-noise amplifiers are bypassed when the dual-standby terminal performs a single call or operates in a standby state.
