<p>A combiner network assembly (202) enables a Cellular Digital Packet Data (CDPD) system to sample (on lead 208) Advanced Mobile Phone System (AMPS) voice channels and inject a CDPD transmit data signal (on lead 206) prior to the power amplification of the channel (210) prior to transmission. The combiner network assembly samples the voice channels after they are combined (by 302) and injects the CDPD data transmit signal (on 206) after the sampling point but before the power amplification of the voice channels. The combiner network assembly combines the inputs from one or more voice radios (on 128,130,132) and a setup radio (on 134) with a combiner (302) to produce a combined voice and setup channel output which is then divided by a power divider (318) and output (on 320) to the CDPD radio for sampling. When a voice channel becomes available, the CDPD radio injects a data transmit signal (on 206) to the combiner network assembly at that available voice channel, which combines (in 328) the data signal with the combined voice and setup signal (on 326) to result in a combined voice, setup, and data signal (on 210). This signal is then amplified by a broad band linear RF amplifier for transmission over an antenna sector corresponding to the voice radios. <MATH></p> |
