ABSTRACT:
A down converter using a C/N ratio correcting circuit of a base station for a mobile communication network includes: a first splitter for splitting an RF signal applied from an antenna; a VGA for controlling the gain of the RF signal split by the first splitter; a down converter for receiving the RF signal gain-compensated by the VGA and converting it to an IF signal; an amplifier for amplifying the RF signal split by the first splitter; a first voltage detect circuit for converting the RF signal applied from the amplifier to a voltage; a second voltage detect circuit for converting the IF signal fedback from the down converter to a voltage; and a comparator for comparing the voltage applied from the second voltage detect circuit and the voltage applied from the first voltage detect circuit and controlling the VGA. A correcting circuit corrects the degradation of the C/N ratio to thereby heighten the C/N ratio of the down converter47and stabilize it, to improve the receiving capability of the base station for a mobile communication network. In addition, replacement of parts due to the degradation and the path loss is prevented, having an effect that its expense is reduced.
