Title: Improving digital receiver performance in the presence of image frequencies
Inventor: HEMMINGER RODNEY C
IPC: H04B1/713
Filed: 2013-10-09
Abstract: Disclosed is a method for receiving a message transmitted on one of a plurality of channels of a hop sequence of a multi-hop communication system, each channel having an associated frequency. When a message is transmitted on one channel of the hop sequence other channels of the sequence may exhibit images of the message. The plurality of channels in the hop sequence is scanned by a receiver (Rx) and for each of the scanned channels, a value is determined that is indicative of signal strength on the channel. A channel is selected that has a signal strength value that satisfies a threshold, and the selected channel is evaluated in an attempt to detect a preamble (114) of a message on that channel. If the preamble (114) is detected on the selected channel, the receiver (Rx) is tuned to a second channel in the hop sequence which then evaluates the second channel in an attempt to detect the preamble (114) on that second channel. If no preamble (114) is detected on the second channel, the receiver (Rx) is tuned back to the selected channel and receives the remainder of the message on that selected channel. If the preamble (114) is detected on the second channel, then the receiver (Rx) remains tuned to the second channel and receives the remainder of the message on that second channel.
