Discrete spectrum transceiver

A method for transmitting data, comprising:

• in a discrete spectrum (DS) signal generator, generating a plurality of DS signals having different DS frequencies, each DS frequency being (a) a harmonic of a fundamental frequency or (b) the fundamental frequency;
• forming first and second DS signal groups from the DS signals generated by the DS signal generator;
• passing the first and second DS signal groups through an RF mixer;
• generating RF mixer output signals that comprises a sum and a difference of the DS signals in the first DS signal group with respect to the DS signals in the second DS signal group;
• passing the RF mixer output signals, the first DS signal group, and the second DS signal group through an RF summing amplifier;
• generating an RF summing amplifier output signal having a frequency equal to a finite sum of the DS frequencies of the RF mixer output signals, of the first DS signal group, and of the second DS signal group;
• and
• transmitting the RF summing amplifier output signal using an antenna.

A system for transmitting data, comprising:

• a first circuit element comprising a DS signal generator that generates a plurality of DS signals, each DS signal having a different DS frequency, each DS frequency being (a) a harmonic of a fundamental frequency or (b) the fundamental frequency;
• a second circuit element that receives as an input the DS signals and that generates as an output (a) a finite summation of the DS signals or (b) pulses that represent a mathematical equivalent of a summation of an infinite number of the DS signals;
• an antenna electrically coupled to the output of the second circuit element signal generator;
• and
• a microprocessor in electrical communication with the DS signal generator and with a data source,
• wherein the microprocessor generates output signals to the DS signal generator, the output signals causing the DS signal generator to modulate an amplitude of one or more of the DS signals to transmit data output from the data source.
