Abstract
An apparatus for transmitting and receiving packets of data among a multitude of base and remote units utilizing a frequency hopping technique. The apparatus uses a single clock source for synchronizing the analog signal processing circuit, the modular encoder and the micrprocessor, and uses an inexpensive microprocessor with a serial peripheral interface.
Claims14
A frequency-hopped packet radio transceiver, comprising:
- an analog signal processing circuit;
- a modular encoder in electrical communication with the analog signal processing circuit for encoding signals for transmission from the transceiver;
- a microprocessor in electrical communication with the analog signal processing circuit for processing signals;
- and
- a clock, the clock being in electrical communication with and for synchronizing the analog signal processing circuit and the modular encoder.
