Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
125 words
An apparatus providing full duplex anti-jam communications with a half duplex transceiver, comprising: means for storing digital signals into digital packets of a predetermined number of symbols; means for transmitting each digital packet at a different transmission frequency during a transmission period that is preceded by a preceding guard band and followed by a following guard band; means for pseudorandomly changing the carrier frequency after the expiration of the following guard band if no digital packet is being received; means for pseudorandomly changing the carrier frequency after the completion of the reception of a digital packet during the preceding guard band; means for demodulating a received radio signal obtaining the digital packets therefrom; and means for converting the digital packet into a received digital signal.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
125 words
An apparatus providing full duplex anti-jam communications with a half duplex transceiver, comprising: means for storing digital signals into digital packets of a predetermined number of symbols; means for transmitting each digital packet at a different transmission frequency during a transmission period that is preceded by a preceding guard band and followed by a following guard band; means for pseudorandomly changing the carrier frequency after the expiration of the following guard band if no digital packet is being received; means for pseudorandomly changing the carrier frequency after the completion of the reception of a digital packet during the preceding guard band; means for demodulating a received radio signal obtaining the digital packets therefrom; and means for converting the digital packet into a received digital signal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
69 words
The apparatus according to claim 1 in which the means for storing the digital signal into digital packets of a predetermined number of symbols comprises: a first, second and third shift register means; a means for sequentially loading the digital signal into the first, second and third shift registers at a first rate; and means for sequentially unloading the first, second and third shift registers at a second rate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
65 words
The apparatus according to claim 2 further comprising: a means for generating a first clock pulse that is used to load the first, second and third shift registers at the first rate; and a means for generating a second clock pulse that is three times as fast as the first clock pulse for unloading the first, second and third shift registers at the second rate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
61 words
The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the means for converting the digital packet into a digital signal, comprising: a first, second and third shift register; means for sequentially loading the digital packet into the first, second and third shift registers at a second rate; and means for sequentially unloading the first, second and third shift registers at a first rate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
65 words
The apparatus according to claim 4 further comprising: a means for generating a first clock pulse that is used to load the first, second and third shift registers at the first rate; and a means for generating a second clock pulse that is three times as fast as the first clock pulse for unloading the first, second and third shift registers at the second rate.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
76 words
The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the means for pseudorandomly changing the the carrier frequency comprises: a code generator; means for generating a random number; means for passing the random number through the code generator; a controllable frequency generator; and means for interfacing the output of the code generator into the controllable frequency generator whereby in response to the output of the code generator, the controllable frequency generator will provide a pseudorandomly selected transmission frequency.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
50 words
The apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising: means for converting sound waves into an analog signal; means for converting the analog signal into a digital signal; means for converting the received digital signal into a receive analog signal; and means for converting the analog signal into output sound waves.
Claim 9
Independent Claim
112 words
A method of providing full duplex communications with a half-duplex transceiver, comprising: storing digital signal into digital packets of a predetermined number of symbols; transmitting each digital packet at a different transmission frequency during a transmission period that is preceded by a preceding guard band and followed by a following guard band; pseudorandomly changing the carrier frequency after the expiration of the following guard band if no digital packet is being received; pseudorandomly changing the carrier frequency after the completion of the reception of a digital packet during the preceding guard band; demodulating a received radio signal to obtain the digital packets therefrom; converting the digital packet into a received digital signal.
Claim 10
Independent Claim
112 words
A method of providing full duplex communications with a half-duplex transceiver, comprising: storing digital signal into digital packets of a predetermined number of symbols; transmitting each digital packet at a different transmission frequency during a transmission period that is preceded by a preceding guard band and followed by a following guard band; pseudorandomly changing the carrier frequency after the expiration of the following guard band if no digital packet is being received; pseudorandomly changing the carrier frequency after the completion of the reception of a digital packet during the preceding guard band; demodulating a received radio signal to obtain the digital packets therefrom; converting the digital packet into a received digital signal.
