US Patent:

59600403, Sep 28, 1999

Filed:

Dec 5, 1996

Appl. No.:

8/761103

Inventors:

Khiem V. Cai - Brea CA
Allan L. Levine - Newbury Park CA

Assignee:

Raytheon Company - Lexington MA

International Classification:

H04L 2718

US Classification:

375279

Abstract:

A digital signal processor is provided which is compatible with a large variety of modulation processes (e. g. , BPSK, QPSK,. pi. /4 QPSK, M-ary FSK and M-ary PSK). The processor has a transmit section which can convert input data streams into baseband I and Q signals and a receive section which can recover data streams from input baseband I and Q signals. The transmit section includes a direct I/Q modulator and a common phase modulator and the receive section includes an M-FSK to M-PSK converter and a common phase demodulator. The processor is particularly suited for realization as an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) which can be integrated in multiband, multimode transceivers.

International Classification:

H04W 72/08
H04W 72/04
H04B 7/185
H04W 72/12

Abstract:

In one possible embodiment, a wireless network with dynamic transmission control is provided that includes a multiple of nodes. The nodes include an arbiter and multiple client nodes. The arbiter is configured to control an operation of the client nodes by defining communications operation cycles and allocating a bandwidth to each of the client nodes on a cycle by cycle basis in response to requests for bandwidth from the client nodes.
