Patent ID: 7308038

Claim:
A transmission configuration, comprising: a baseband component for processing a baseband signal, said baseband component having an input/output configured for digital data transmission; a radio-frequency component for conversion of the baseband signal to a radio-frequency signal to be transmitted, said radio-frequency component having an input/output for digital data transmission and being connected, via an interface, to said input/output of said baseband component for digital transmission of payload data to be transmitted and of configuration data for configuration of said radio-frequency component; a first digital multiple conductor connection for transmitting the payload data connected between said input/output of said baseband component and said input/output of said radio-frequency component; and a second digital multiple conductor connection for transmitting the configuration data connected between said input/output of said baseband component and said input/output of said radio-frequency component; said first digital multiple conductor connection including: a data line for serial data transmission of payload data; a bit clock line for transmission of a clock signal, with in each case one bit of the data line being associated with in each case one clock period; and a word clock line for indicating a start of transmission of a sequence of bits on said data line.
