Abstract
Abstract An FSK data transceiver for long distance data communication is arranged such that transmitted data is composed of coded information in binary form. The data carrier signal utilized in the transceiver is a continuous rather than an intermittent signal and the receiver portion of the transceiver tracks the transmitted carrier signal so as to not lose the signal. The receiver performs an averaging process on the received data for improving the signal to noise ratio of the received signal.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
239 words
A FSK data transceiver attached to an antenna and comprising a transmitting means and a receiving means, wherein said transmitting means comprises: an external signal input port for inputting an external signal; a signal generator for generating two kinds of signals having different frequencies and outputting one of said two kinds of signals according to said external signal; an antenna driver for amplifying the output signal of said signal generator, said antenna being coupled to said antenna driver; and wherein said receiving means comprises: a signal amplifier for amplifying a signal received by said antenna; a local oscillator for generating a local frequency signal; a frequency converter for mixing an output signal of said signal amplifier and said local frequency signal; an A/D converter for converting an output signal of said frequency converter to a digital coded signal; a first integrator for integrating said digital coded signal during a first time period; a second integrator for integrating said digital coded signal during a second time period which is shifted from first time period; an output port coupled to said second integrator; and a control means for generating a first timing signal which is supplied to said A/D converter and said first and second integrator and a second timing signal which is supplied to said local oscillator, wherein said control means controls said first timing signal so that an output signal of said first integrator is at its maximum value.
