Abstract
A virtual channel communications system assigns RF resources to communications waveforms for transmitting and receiving signals. The communications system comprises universal transceivers for generating and processing the signals. The universal transceivers comprise translators for translating baseband transmit signals to RF transmit signals and RF receive signals to baseband receive signals and digital signal processors for generating the communications waveforms and processing baseband receive and transmit signals. An inter-transceiver communications bus connected to the translators and the digital signal processors communicates between the universal transceivers. The communications bus interconnects digital signal processors in any universal transceiver to a translator in any universal transceiver. Universal power amplifiers are connected to the universal transceivers to amplify the RF transmit signals.
