Abstract:
1. A transmitting and receiving arrangement, comprising: a baseband component; a radio-frequency component; an interface configured to interchange digital payload data in a transmission direction from the baseband component to the radio-frequency component and a reception direction from the radio-frequency component to the baseband component, the interface comprising a bidirectional data link configured to facilitate half-duplex transmission of the digital payload data to be transmitted from the baseband component to the radio-frequency component, and for transmission of received, digitized payload data, which has been converted to baseband in the radio-frequency component, from the radio-frequency component to the baseband component; and wherein the interface further comprises a third bidirectional word clock line configured to indicate a start of transmission of a sequence of bits on the data link from the baseband component to the radio-frequency component, and indicate a start of transmission of a sequence of bits on the data link from the radio-frequency component to the baseband component.
