  • Radio communications receivers
    Patent number: 4532636
    Abstract: In radio communications receivers for use on frequency hopping radio communications networks, the received signal in each hop period is analyzed and assigned a quality value. If more than one signal is present during the hop period it is determined that more than one network has changed to the same frequency. Similarly if the received signal is out of synchronism it is determined that more than one network has changed to the same frequency. When more than one network has changed to the same frequency, the received signal is not output by the receiver but is replaced by an earlier (or later) received signal.
