<p>The invention is a method and apparatus for facilitating frequency hopping of information in a system, without the use of a baseband hopping unit, by sharing a common TDM bus between a plurality of radio communication units, processing units, and information links. The system comprises an MSC (145) coupled to the information link (147), a common TDM bus (135, 150, 155, 140), processing units (210, 220), fixed tuned transmitters (215, 225) coupled to the fixed tuned cavity combiners (125, 130), which are coupled to the antennae (132, 134). Redundancy in the TDM buses (135, 150, 155, 140) is a mechanism for improving the fault tolerance of the system in case of TDM bus failure.</p> |
