Provided are an electronic device and control method therefor. The electronic device may include: a first electronic component; a second electronic component electrically connected to the first electronic component via a first line, where the second electronic component receives a data signal from the first electronic component via the first line; and a third electronic component electrically connected to the first electronic component via a second line and electrically connected to the second electronic component. At least a portion of the second line is substantially parallel to at least a portion of the first line. The third electronic component is configured to compare an electrical signal received via the second line to a reference signal and determine whether an electrostatic discharge (ESD) has occurred based on the comparison result, and the second electronic component is configured to control the first electronic component based on the determination result. Hence, it is possible to accurately detect ESD occurrence by using a coupling circuit and an electrical signal coupled with an electrical signal generated by ESD.

Electronic device and method for operating the same

A method and an apparatus for improving signal quality through noise detection in an electronic device are provided. The electronic device may include a power amplifier configured to amplify and output a transmitted signal, a noise detector configured to detect noise in a receiving band by the power amplifier and to output a power level of the detected noise, and a processor configured to acquire the power level of the noise through the noise detector, acquire control information to change the output power of the power amplifier based on the power level of the noise, and control the output power of the power amplifier based on the control information.

Method and apparatus for improving signal quality in electronic device

A hearing aid compatible mobile electronic device is provided. The hearing aid compatible mobile electronic device includes a wireless communication unit including a power amplification module, a power source configured to transfer a first current to the power amplification module through a sending end thereof and to receive a second current from the power amplification module through a ground terminal thereof, a line unit connected between the power amplification module and the power source and including a first line through which the first current flows and a second line through which the second current flows in an opposite direction to the first current, and a receiver configured to generate a magnetic signal for hearing aid compatibility and to receive a first magnetic field generated by the first current and a second magnetic field generated by the second current.
