Abstract:
1. A method for identification of a portable antenna module, the method comprising: (a) writing antenna identifiers and parameters into the portable antenna module; (b) connecting the antenna module to a radio receiver; (c) powering up the receiver; (d) receiving a signal; (e) amplifying the received signal in an amplifier; (f) pausing for completion of transitional processes; (g) converting a frequency of the signal in the receiver to a lower frequency; (h) controlling a signal level in an automatic amplification control module; (i) demodulating the signal in a demodulator; and (j) performing analog-to-digital conversion of the signal in an analog-to-digital converter, wherein: (k) the amplified received signal is fed into an amplitude modulator; (l) an identification signal is generated in an identification signal generation unit based on the antenna identifiers and fed to the amplitude modulator; (m) an output signal is modulated in the amplitude modulator; (n) the modulated output signal is processed in the high-frequency block; (o) the automatic amplification control module controls an amplitude of the modulated output signal and feeds it into an input of a demodulator and into an input of an amplitude demodulator; (p) the demodulator demodulates the modulated output signal and the amplitude demodulator simultaneously determines fluctuations of the modulated output signal level; (q) the analog-to-digital converter generates a discrete code corresponding to the antenna parameters based on the signal level fluctuations; (r) the demodulated signal and the discrete code are provided to a microprocessor; and (s) the microprocessor processes the demodulated signal based on the parameters of the antenna module.
