  • Patent number: 6844787
    Abstract: The present invention provides for a first modulation at an arbitrary frequency and a second modulation at another arbitrary frequency. To achieve this, the present invention demodulates the first modulation using the same reference oscillator signal that was used in the first modulation. Because modulation and demodulation are achieved using the same reference oscillator signal, a close approximation of the original signals is achieved. With this close approximation, a subsequent re-modulation can be readily achieved at a second arbitrary frequency and can further be achieved using low-cost synthesizer and modulation components. In effect, a first modulation is achieved at a first frequency; the first modulation is then demodulation to zero frequency; and, in turn, a second modulation (i.e., re-modulation) is achieved at a second frequency.
