Patent ID: 8731030

Claim:
A method for transmission a set of digital data comprising: (A) processing a received signal transmitted from a preceding site by at least one repeater located in a repeater hub in a processing site; said received signal having a microwave carrier; wherein said processing compensates said received microwave signal for degradation due to propagation between said preceding site and said processing site; (A1) down converting said received signal having said microwave carrier frequency from said received microwave frequency to a first intermediate frequency; (A1, 1) processing said down converted signal having said first intermediate frequency by using a processing mode selected from the group consisting of: an analog mode having a minimum latency; and a digital mode; (A1, 2) processing said down converted signal having said first intermediate frequency by using said digital processing mode selected from the group consisting of: a digital filter mode having an intermediate latency; and a digital reconstruction mode having a maximum latency; and (B) conditioning said received microwave signal for subsequent transmission from said processing site to a subsequent site.
