  • Systems and methods for frequency hopping waveforms
    Patent number: 10863509
    Abstract: Systems and methods for reprogramming a Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS) having a SINCGARS frequency-hopping waveform with a fixed retuning period operable in a network of SINCGARS. A system includes a controller programmed with a modified frequency-hopping waveform having one or more retuning periods, each of the one or more retuning periods being shorter in duration than the fixed retuning period of the conventional SINCGARS waveform, the modified frequency-hopping waveform compatible with each of the SINCGARS in the network. An interface is provided for programming each of the devices with the modified waveform.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 27, 2020
    Date of Patent: December 8, 2020
    Assignee: Raythen Company
