Abstract:
A computer system comprising:a plurality of devices;a bus communicatively linking said devices for information transfer; andan encoder receiving a parallel n-bit digital word and translating said parallel n-bit digital word into a serial bit stream,each one of said devices being linked to said bus to receive an incoming message through one of a plurality of filters having filter characteristics unique to said one;each one of said devices further comprising a modulator for modulating an outgoing message from one of said devices acting as a message source to correspond with a filter characteristic unique to a destination device in said plurality of devices,wherein said filter characteristics comprise a different center frequency for each one of said devices,wherein said modulator in said message source imposes said outgoing message on a carrier at a frequency corresponding to a center frequency of said filter corresponding to said destination device,wherein said outgoing message comprises a digital message, andwherein said digital message is encoded as said serial bit stream.
