Abstract

A method for safety-directed wireless signal transmission is provided. The method includes duplicating an input signal; supplying each copy of the duplicated input signal within a source unit to a transmitter module over separate, independent software paths; transmitting the copies using the transmitter module over a common wireless transmission link to a receiver module of a sink unit; supplying each transmitted copy within the sink unit over an independent software path to a comparator module; and using the comparator module to test the output copies for consistency with an output signal corresponding to the output copies being generated by the comparator module.
