ABSTRACT:
Individual channels are centrally and tunably selected for emission in a distributed wireless communications system. A high-frequency signal received at a central antenna is down-converted such that a selected channel corresponds to a predetermined frequency range. Non-selected channels are filtered out. The selected channel is transmitted to remote locations over commonly available transmission lines, up-converted, and re-emitted. The transmitted channel is chosen by tuning the frequency of the local oscillator used for down-conversion. A high-stability global tuning signal is used to tune and stabilize the local oscillators used for up-conversion. The global tuning signal is generated by frequency-dividing the down-conversion local oscillator signal by a fixed number, while the up-conversion local oscillator signals are generated by frequency-multiplying the global tuning signal by the same fixed number. Phase-locked loops are used for frequency multiplication and stabilization. Applications include cellular communications, cordless telephony, local RF communications, interactive multimedia video, and high bit-rate local communications.
