Patent ID: 8311082

Claim:
A radio for communicating digital data over an analog communication channel, comprising: a filter that inputs a binary-level modulated signal transmitted via a noisy analog communication channel and outputs a filtered modulated signal; a demodulation circuit that is electrically connected to the filter and performs two-level demodulation of the filtered modulated signal to produce a binary demodulated signal having a serial format; a SERDES integrated circuit, electrically connected to the demodulation circuit that receives the binary demodulated signal, the SERDES integrated circuit further comprising a clock recovery circuit that recovers a clock timing of the binary demodulated signal and locks onto the clock timing from the binary demodulated signal and a deserializer circuit that converts the binary demodulated signal with the serial format into a binary demodulated digital signal having a parallel format; and a digital section that receives the parallel format binary demodulated digital signal.
