Abstract
Apparatus' and methods of supplying digital data to a digital-to-analog coverter (DAC) without using a conventional digital signal processor are provided. The present invention may provide pre-digitized communication waveforms to a DAC according to any desired communication requirement. This Abstract is provided for the sole purpose of complying with the Abstract requirement rules that allow a reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the disclosure contained herein. This Abstract is submitted with the explicit understanding that it will not be used to interpret or to limit the scope or the meaning of the claims.
Claims18
A buffer apparatus, comprising:
- a signal input structured to receive a communication signal;
- a data symbol library communicating with the signal input, the data symbol library structured to match the communication signal with a stored data symbol;
- a first radio frequency waveform library communicating with the data symbol library, the first radio frequency waveform library structured to match the stored data symbol with a stored digital radio frequency waveform;
- a digital to analog converter (DAC), communicating with the first radio frequency waveform library, the DAC structured to convert the digital radio frequency waveform to an analog signal.
A method of supplying data to a digital to analog converter (DAC), the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a data symbol;
- matching the data symbol with a stored data symbol;
- matching the stored data symbol with a digital radio frequency waveform;
- and
- passing the digital radio frequency waveform to the DAC.
A method of supplying data to a digital to analog converter (DAC), comprising:
- means for providing a data symbol;
- means for matching the data symbol with a stored data symbol;
- means for matching the stored data symbol with a digital radio frequency waveform;
- and
- means for passing the digital radio frequency waveform to the DAC.
