Abstract:
A method for combining multiple sets of transmit signals from a plurality of modem frames for use with a single set of antennas comprising the steps of:receiving at each one of the plurality of modem frames message and signaling data;producing in each one of the plurality of modem frames a set of transmit signals comprising one or more transmit signals;combining corresponding transmit signals from each of the sets of transmit signals produced by the plurality of modem frames into a single set of combined transmit signals, wherein the step of combining includes inserting an impedance element into the signal path of some of the transmit signals, for compensating for inherent differences in the characteristic impedance's of the signal path and equalize the signal loss between the signals to be combined; androuting the single set of combined transmit signals to the single set of antennas.
