<p>Frequency-hopped single sideband (SSB) mobile radio system implemented by hopping the carrier frequency of an input signal (s(t)) every τ seconds. The hopping is controlled by a carrier-frequency-hopped sequence (fi(t)) generatd by a carrier-frequency-hopping generator (16, 24). When employed in a frequency-hopped SSB transmitter (10), the carrier sequence functions to modulate the input signal, "hopping" it to a different carrier frequency every τ seconds. The carrier-frequency-hopped SSB receiver employs the identical carrier sequence as used by the transmitter to demodulate the transmitted carrier-frequency-hopped SSB signal, thereby recovering the original single sideband signal (s(t)). By frequency hopping the carrier signal of an SSB signal, the present invention mitigates the effects of co-channel interference and frequency selective fading inherent in prior art SSB cellular mobile radio systems.</p> |
