Abstract:
A radio frequency (RF) transport system for transporting through a transport network a plurality of RF signals transmitted from a central station to at least one remote station, the frequency of each of said RF signals hopping in accordance with a predetermined hopping sequence that is also transmitted from said central station to said remote station, the transport system comprising:a central transport unit including:means for receiving said frequency hopping signals and said hopping sequences from said central station;means responsive to said hopping sequences for respectively converting said central station frequency hopping signals into respective central unit fixed frequency signals; andmeans for transmitting said central unit fixed frequency signals and said hopping sequences through said transport network; anda remote transport unit including:means for receiving said central unit fixed frequency signals and said hopping sequences from said central transport unit;means responsive to said hopping sequences for respectively converting said central unit fixed frequency signals into respective remote unit frequency hopping signals corresponding to said central station frequency hopping signals; andmeans for transmitting said remote unit frequency hopping signals and said hopping sequences from said remote transport unit to said at least one remote station.
