Transceiver module for wireless data transmission

摘要

Disclosed are transceiver modules for data communication. Such a transceiver module can be coupled to an optical transmitter/receiver module which comprises an array of light emitting diodes and one or more photodiodes. The transceiver modules comprise amplifiers for amplification of signals received by the array of photodiodes of said optical transmitter/receiver module, means for detecting the information carried in said signals received, driver means for driving the array of infrared light emitting diodes of said optical transmitter/receiver module, means for active selection and individual combination of said signals received by each of the photodiodes of the array of photodiodes of said optical transmitter/receiver module, means for proximity detection by determining the strength of an echo signal and switching off the array of infra-red light emitting diodes of said optical transmitter/receiver module if said echo signal exceeds a predefined limit.
