Abstract

A novel narrow-band communication apparatus comprises a digital signal processor for demodulating the output from a receiving section and outputting a modulation signal for an audio input, an electric field strength detector section for detecting electric field strength in the output from the receiving section, an indicator for indicating whether the narrow-band communication apparatus is in a receiving mode or in a transmission mode, and a power controller for controlling supply of power to, or an operating state of specified portions of, the narrow-band communication apparatus according to the output from the electric field strength detector as well as from the indicator.
