Abstract:
A wireless apparatus comprising:a transmitter including an antenna and a first phase-locked loop (PLL) having a first frequency synthesizer for generating a plurality of signals with identifications; and a receiver including an antenna and a second PLL having a second frequency synthesizer for generating signals having the same frequencies as the signals transmitted from the transmitter; wherein the plurality of signals are each converted into spread spectrum modulated signals prior to transmitting from the transmitter for preventing unauthorized copying, wherein the transmitter is provided in a wireless mouse further including a modulator, a buffer amplifier, a low noise amplifier, and a first processor connected to the first PLL, the movements of the X axis, the Y axis, and the roller of the mouse are converted into operating signals by the first processor, and the operating signals are modulated by the modulator, combined with said plurality of signals generated by the first frequency synthesizer to form said spread spectrum modulated signals, and amplified by the buffer amplifier and the low noise amplifier prior to sending from the antenna of the transmitter, and wherein the receiver further includes a second low noise amplifier, a first intermediate frequency filter, a second intermediate frequency amplifier, a second intermediate frequency filter, a detector, an analog to digital (A/D) converter, and a second processor connected to a personal computer (PC) and the second PLL respectively, the spread spectrum modulated signals sent by the transmitter are received by the antenna of the receiver, amplified by the second low noise amplifier, filtered by the first intermediate frequency filter, amplified by the second intermediate frequency amplifier, filtered by the second intermediate frequency filter, detected by the detector, and converted into digital signals by the A/D converter prior to sending to the second processor to process, the processed signals are sent to the PC to generate an action corresponding to the action of the mouse, and the second processor commands the second PLL to demodulate the spread spectrum modulated signals into signals having the same frequency as the original signals transmitted from the transmitter when the operating signals are determined by the second processor to have been combined with the plurality of signals with identifications.
