  • Patent number: 9735856
    Abstract: Disclosed are apparatus and a method for receiving and transmitting radio frequency signals by a vehicle (8). The method comprises: providing a transceiver module (28), the transceiver module (28) being located on board the vehicle (8) and comprising a plurality of transceivers (40-56), each transceiver (40-56) being configured to operate within a different respective radio frequency band; receiving, by a first transceiver, a first radio frequency signal having a first frequency and a first waveform; determining, using the first frequency and first waveform, by a communications management module (36) located on board the vehicle (8), a second frequency and a second waveform, the second frequency being in a different frequency band than the first radio frequency signal, the second waveform being different to the first waveform; and transmitting, by a second transceiver, a second radio frequency signal having the second frequency and the second waveform.

  • Patent number: 9490917
    Abstract: Apparatus for and method of processing radio frequency signals, the method including: obtaining a signal indicative of a first frequency (e.g. by obtaining a sample of a transmitted signal), the first frequency being a frequency of the transmitted signal; and using the signal indicative of a first frequency, establishing a second frequency depending on the first frequency, the second frequency being a frequency to which to tune a filter for filtering a received signal. An antenna for receiving and/or transmitting a signal may be a co-site antenna with respect to at least one other antenna.
