Patent ID: 7593358

Claim:
A transmitter device of a remote control system, the transmitter device configured to emit a radiation corresponding to an infrared modulated digital signal and the transmitter device including a control device to generate at least one configuration signal indicative of at least one characteristic quantity of said infrared modulated signal correlated to an information to be transmitted, the transmitter device comprising: a modulator apparatus coupled to the control device and including a synchronous sequential network having a finite state machine, the modulator apparatus being configured to generate the infrared modulated signal using said finite state machine and based on said at least one characteristic quantity supplied by the control device, wherein the modulator apparatus includes: a carrier generation component to generate a carrier signal and coupled to the synchronous sequential network to provide a latch signal thereto; and a logic device coupled to the synchronous sequential network to receive a modulating signal and coupled to the carrier generation component to receive the carrier signal, the logic device configured to produce the modulated signal from the received modulating and carrier signals.
