Abstract
A broadcast receiving apparatus includes: a plurality of unit antennas arranged at preset intervals, each unit antenna of the plurality of antennas being configured to receive a broadcast signal; a plurality of receiving modules, each receiving module of the plurality of receiving modules being configured to convert the broadcast signal received by a corresponding unit antenna of the plurality of unit antennas into a first signal and output the first signal; a filter configured to filter a noise component out of the first signals output by the plurality of receiving modules, synthesize the first signals into a second signal and output the second signal; and a signal processor configured to perform a signal process for displaying an image based on the second signal output from the filter.
Claims16
A broadcast receiving apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of antennas comprising at least three antennas arranged at preset intervals, each antenna of the plurality of antennas being configured to receive a broadcast signal;
- a plurality of receiving modules, each receiving module of the plurality of receiving modules being configured to convert the broadcast signal received by a corresponding antenna of the plurality of antennas into a first signal and output the first signal;
- a filter configured to filter a noise component out of the first signals output by the plurality of receiving modules, synthesize the first signals into a second signal and output the second signal;
- and
- a signal processor configured to perform a signal process for displaying an image based on the second signal output from the filter,
- wherein a distance between two outermost antennas selected from among the plurality of antennas is less than a half of a wavelength of the broadcast signal.
A method of controlling a broadcast receiving apparatus, the method comprising:
- receiving a broadcast signal through a plurality of antennas including at least three antennas arranged at preset intervals;
- converting, by a plurality of receiving modules respectively corresponding to the plurality of antennas, the broadcast signal received in the plurality of antennas into first signals;
- filtering, by a filter, a noise component out of the first signals and synthesizing the first signals into a second signal;
- and
- displaying an image by processing the second signal output,
- wherein, a distance between two outermost antennas selected from among the plurality of antennas is less than a half of a wavelength of the broadcast signal.
