Abstract

A communication system comprising a wireless keyboard for emitting infra-red signals, a receiving unit for converting the infra-red signals to an electrical signal, a tuning and amplifying circuit coupled to the receiving unit for tuning and amplifying the electrical signals, a carrier filtering circuit for removing the carrier component of the input signal, a single-shot circuit coupled to the carrier filtering circuit for converting its input signal to a known code wave form, and a microprocessor for receiving the code wave. The invention allows multiple users to operate their wireless keyboards without interference.
