ABSTRACT:
A radio transmission system including many radio transmitters using frequency hopping carriers to intermittently transmit very short messages indicative of status of sensors associated with the transmitters. In operation, a time interval generator included in a transmitter generates pulses activating the transmitter at time intervals according to a predetermined algorithm. When activated, the transmitter transmits a message at one or several different frequencies. The frequencies are changed according to a predetermined algorithm and preferably differ for each subsequent transmission. Alternatively, when an abnormal sensor status is detected, the transmitter transmits repeated messages at a plurality of predetermined alarm frequencies for a predetermined time regardless of the time interval generator. The system also includes one or more receivers containing a plurality of memory registers to hold digital data indicative of (a) the time and (b) the frequency of the next transmission occurrence independently for each transmitter. The registers are programmed separately for each transmitter based on the time, frequency, and the content of the received messages.
