ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods that utilize a received signal to provide low cost, low power, high sensitivity radio frequency hopping communication. A transmitting system prepares a data packet that is to be communicated to a receiving system. The data packet includes a header, a network identification, and transmission data. A transmission frequency is identified and a phase lock loop (“PLL”) is set to the transmission frequency. The data packet is gathered, and frequency modulation and Differential Manchester encoding is performed. The signal is sent through a power amplifier and an antenna to a receiving system, which continually scans all channels of a frequency range for a valid signal. When a pulse is received, the signal is passed through a low noise amplifier, mixed down to 10.7 MHz, passed through one or more filters and one or more high gain amplifiers, mixed down to baseband, sent through a low pass filter, and then sent through a comparator. If an appropriate pulse width, expected bit pattern and a valid header are received, it is determined that the signal is valid and the entire data packet is demodulated to receive the transmitted data.
