Abstract:
1. A fragmentation channelizer comprising: a signal input; a transmitter filter bank that fragments a continuous spectral span of the signal input into a plurality of spectral channels; the spectral channels coinciding in frequency with available non-continuous bandwidth segments of a communications channel; and a receiver filter bank that inputs the discrete spectral channels after transmission over the communications channel; and the receiver filter bank de-fragments the discrete spectral channels into a reconstructed continuous spectral span of the signal input so as to generate a signal output corresponding to the signal input; wherein the transmitter filter bank comprises a transmitter analysis channelizer that decomposes the spectral span of the signal input into M spectral channels that are relocated in frequency according to the available bandwidth segments of the communications channel; and a transmitter synthesis channelizer that forms a composite transmit signal from the relocated M spectral channels, where the transmit signal is sent over the communications channel.
