Abstract

A system is disclosed for transmitting and receiving signals. The system includes the use of a frequency plan table a system for creating the frequency plan table. The frequency plan table relates carrier frequency channels to the operation of a synthesizer and a plurality of programmable frequency dividers in a locked loop. In a transmitter, a first programmable frequency divider accepts a reference signal and produces a comparison signal. A mixer accepts the reference signal and a transmission signal and produces a loop signal. A second programmable frequency divider accepts the loop signal and produces a loop signal having a divided intermediate frequency signal. A phase detector compares the comparison signal and the loop signal having a divided intermediate frequency and produces an output that controls a variable controlled oscillator. The variable controlled oscillator produces a modulated transmission signal.
