Abstract:
A method for transmitting at least one reverse signal having at least one burst mode carrier signal, the method comprising the steps of:filtering a plurality of reverse signals with a plurality of filters, each filter for providing a filtered reverse signal; digitizing each of the filtered reverse signals to provide a digitized signal; buffering each of the digitized signals to provide a delayed digital signal; detecting for the presence of at least one burst-mode carrier signal included in each filtered reverse signal; converting the delayed digital signal back to an analog signal; transmitting the analog signal including the detected presence of the at least one burst-mode carrier signal upon detection of the at least one burst-mode carrier signal; and whereby only transmitting the analog signals including the detected presence of the at least one burst-mode carrier signal prohibits the transmission of excess noise signals.
