Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
266 words
A fixed station of a frequency jump radiocommunications system in which transmissions take place on frequency ranges varying by synchronous jumps, comprising: reception means for receiving signals; n receivers coupled to said reception means; n communications channels coupled to said n receivers, respectively; p transmitters, each one having a connection input through which said one transmitter may be connected to said n channels, and each one having a frequency control input for transmitting on said frequency ranges varying by jumps, p being less than n; n management circuits, each one of which correspond to one of said n channels, respectively, each said management circuit generating a signal indicative of an activity/nonactivity state of said corresponding channel; n time/frequency law generators, each one of which corresponds to one of said n channels, respectively, each said time/frequency law generator providing said frequency ranges varying by jumps; general control means for receiving said activity/nonactivity signals from said n management circuits and providing a connection control signal which assigns one of said n channels to one of said p transmitters, and for providing transmission authorization signals to said p transmitters to authorize said transmission; first connection matrix means connected between said n channels and said p transmitters, for receiving said connection control signal and connecting one of said n channels to the connection input of one of said p transmitters; second control matrix means, connected between said n time/frequency law generators and said p transmitters, for receiving said connection control signal and connecting one of said time/frequency law generators to the frequency control input of one of said p transmitters.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
266 words
A fixed station of a frequency jump radiocommunications system in which transmissions take place on frequency ranges varying by synchronous jumps, comprising: reception means for receiving signals; n receivers coupled to said reception means; n communications channels coupled to said n receivers, respectively; p transmitters, each one having a connection input through which said one transmitter may be connected to said n channels, and each one having a frequency control input for transmitting on said frequency ranges varying by jumps, p being less than n; n management circuits, each one of which correspond to one of said n channels, respectively, each said management circuit generating a signal indicative of an activity/nonactivity state of said corresponding channel; n time/frequency law generators, each one of which corresponds to one of said n channels, respectively, each said time/frequency law generator providing said frequency ranges varying by jumps; general control means for receiving said activity/nonactivity signals from said n management circuits and providing a connection control signal which assigns one of said n channels to one of said p transmitters, and for providing transmission authorization signals to said p transmitters to authorize said transmission; first connection matrix means connected between said n channels and said p transmitters, for receiving said connection control signal and connecting one of said n channels to the connection input of one of said p transmitters; second control matrix means, connected between said n time/frequency law generators and said p transmitters, for receiving said connection control signal and connecting one of said time/frequency law generators to the frequency control input of one of said p transmitters.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
60 words
A station according to claim 1 wherein each one of said n time/frequency law generators generates a signal identifying particular frequency ranges corresponding to a given transmission, and wherein said general control means receives said identification signals from said n time/frequency law generators and prevents simultaneous transmission of a same frequency range by more than one of said p transmitters.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
A station according to claim 1, wherein said general control means only controls connection modifications at a start and finish of transmission periods.
