An economical, compact wireless data telemetry transceiver is adapted to
establish and maintain communication links at 2.4 GHZ. The wireless
transceiver includes RF and computer control components in a compact
package approximately the size of a deck of cards and is adapted to be
built into original equipment manufacturer (OEM) products to support a
wide range of wireless data telemetry applications. Each transceiver
includes a shielded RF board or module with a frequency hopping
transmitter and receiver, an antenna, and a digital control board or
module. The transceiver functions as a half duplex, bi-directional
communication device; transmit and receive functions are time interleaved
in a non-overlapping fashion. The RF Board consists of a transmitter,
receiver, frequency synthesizer and T/R Switch, each controlled by an
external microprocessor to either transmit serial data or receive serial
data.
