Abstract: A modem includes a base unit for transmitting a data signal, and a communication card which receives the data signal from the base unit over a wireless medium and which performs echo canceling on the data signal. The base unit is in communication with a telephone line and receives an original signal from the telephone line. The base unit generates an RF modulated signal based on the original signal. The base unit includes a transmitter for transmitting the data signal. Circuitry in the base unit receives the original signal from the telephone line and generates a combined data signal from the original signal and echo signals and maintains a peak voltage of the combined signal which is within the linear amplification region of the transmitter.

Abstract: Circuitry to transmit an analog data signal over a wireless communication link includes a receiver that receives a data signal, an automatic gain control circuit that keeps a peak amplitude of the data signal substantially constant and within a predetermined linear amplification range, and a transmitter, having the predetermined linear amplification range, that receives the data signal from the automatic gain control circuit and that outputs the data signal.

Abstract: A modem transmits data between a computer and a telephone line. The modem features a base unit which receives a data signal from the telephone line and which transmits the data signal over a wireless link. A device receives the data signal over the wireless link and outputs an analog data signal that corresponds to the data signal. A modem card receives the analog data signal from the device, digitizes the analog data signal to produce a digital signal, demodulates the digital signal, and provides an output digital data signal to the computer.

Abstract: An apparatus transmits an analog data signal over a wireless communication link. The apparatus includes a base unit having a wired connection to a telephone line. The base unit transmits data to and from the telephone line via the wired connection. The apparatus also includes a remote unit having a wired connection to a modem. The remote unit transmits data to and from the modem via the wired connection. The remote unit and the base unit communicate with each other over the wireless communication link. The base unit includes a radio frequency transmitter to transmit the analog data signal to the remote unit and an automatic gain control circuit that keeps a peak amplitude of the analog data signal substantially constant and within a linear amplification range of the radio frequency transmitter.
