The technical field to which the invention belongs This invention relates to wireless communication between modems and telephone lines System 0 2. The computers connected to modems in the prior art are often connected to the Internet using a wired connection. Take wired connection for Internet access as an example. It uses a single-core telephone line to connect to the port of personal computer (PC) and the telephone socket on the wall. In the socket, this two-core telephone line is connected to a twisted pair telephone or line from the central office of the telephone company (referred to as "regional loopback"). There are many restrictions on the use of the wired connection. Computers, their portability will be limited 'because their operation_ f depends on whether there is a telephone line socket nearby. Therefore, the development of wireless links can reduce people's demand for wired links. Some of the products on the market use electronic motors Engineering Association (IEEE) 802.1 · lb standard.

A i The rp 〇rt base station also has a dial-up (dia 1-up) modem, which can be connected to a circuit jack (jack). It has a data flow of 5 6 kilobits per second (Kbit / S) and additional control signals , Converted to the format of 80 2 · 1 1 b, and transmitted to a laptop computer through wireless transmission. The above is a more expensive method. The type of other wireless modems, by Short-distance RF path from the telephone connector to the portable computer to transmit dial-up modem signals. These modems use an analog / digital converter to digitize the input V. 3 4 or V · 90 signal And use four-quadrant phase modulation (QPSK) or FSK to transmit digital data streams in the RF channel. Since V.90 signals must be transmitted very accurately, the transmission end needs to be high (For example, i 〇_ 丨 2 bit) analog / digital converter and the receiving end needs a high-bit digital / analog converter. The above configuration results in a high-frequency transmission rate in the RF channel, which requires about 200. Kilo-Hertz (KHz) radio frequency bandwidth. The above-mentioned bandwidth is much larger than the 30 Hertz of analog frequency modulation (FM) radiotelephones and i 0 0 Hertz required by some digital radiotelephones. Excessive bandwidth requirements will have The modems configured above are not attractive. The distance between Internet users and the equipment of the Internet Service Provider (ISP) of the central office of the telephone company varies, which may range from hundreds of feet to miles This makes it difficult to accurately match the phone interface, and sometimes it can cause 7 1239756 physical echoes in the system. Most, wired, and modems are therefore equipped with modem noise cancellers to eliminate Λ part of the Echo. In wireless systems, sometimes the echo is stronger than the data signal and saturates the RF channel. A circuit that is saturated or overdriven will cause non-linear distortion of the data signal and make the data The machine's sound canceller is ineffective. Prior to this, the echo canceller was included in the base of the wireless modem and eliminated the echo before the RF channel was full. Since most of the echo cancellers are digital, this solution The channel needs to turn the signal to digital, and then back to analog. _Ratio / digital, digital / analog conversion will clearly add additional complexity to the data channel. Unless you use very similar conversions, V90 will slow down V.32 or V.34 speed. The above-mentioned change in distance < results in a change in the signal level of the dial-up modem by 30 dB. Since modems can handle these changes, this is not a problem in wired mode. However, in wireless systems, changes in signal level will be a problem. At the input of the FSK RF channel, if the signal is reduced by 30dB, this will cause FM frequency modulation to be reduced accordingly. This 30 dB not only reduces the signal-to-noise ratio but also makes the system inoperable. The solution is to import an Automatic Gain Control (AGC) or Automatic Level Control (ALC) unit to ensure the input level. However, when a new modem starts to communicate, it sends out tones of different levels to perform a handshake procedure to correct the number of signal levels to the distance variable. An AGc / circuit will cancel the above handshake process and cause system instability. III. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 8 1239756 In general, according to one of the features of the present invention, the present invention is a circuit system for dialing a data machine through a wireless communication link to transmit data signals. Data signals such as V. 34 signals have complex multi-level vertical amplitude modulation (QAM) modulation symbol sets (constellation) and are analogous to the analog baseband signals transmitted by a 4KHz telephone channel. Another example is a V · 90 signal. The V.90 signal is a bit special. It includes a 128-layer Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM) signal, and it is based on the telephone network of the Public Switched Telephone Network j PSTN. The U-Law expander has different space. To accurately transmit these signals, we need low-noise and high-amplitude linear characterization channels. An effective method of transmitting these signals in a radio frequency channel ’is to directly FM the radio frequency carrier with a V · 34 or V.90 signal. As far as V · 90 is concerned, it is necessary to transmit a FreqUenCy Shift Keying (FSK) signal with discrete levels of 128 different intervals. The proper RF bandwidth required to transmit this signal is 30 Η z, which is the same as the analog F% channel used by traditional wireless telephones. _ Of course 'If the FM bandwidth is increased, the signal-to-noise ratio will be improved. This circuit system includes a novel automatic gain control circuit that receives a data signal' and essentially maintains / fixes this data signal. The peak amplitude is within a preset linear magnification range. jPC * 弘 芬尔 Sender ’Its from

This feature may also include one or more of the following features. This circuit system contains a composite circuit that isolates the input signal from the output signal in the telephone line. The output signal voltage of this composite circuit may exceed the linear amplification range of the transmitter. We use an automatic gain control circuit (AGC) to limit the signal voltage, which can reduce or limit non-linear distortion in the transmitter. The AGC also prevents the signal level from appearing too low in the radio channel. The low signal level is due to the long distance (also known as the long circuit) between the consumer and the telephone office. This circuit system can also include a duplexer, which keeps the separated state between the transmitted and received radio frequency signals. The transmitter may be a radio frequency (RF) transmitter, which includes a frequency modulator (FM), which modulates a radio frequency carrier with the frequency of the data signal. The automatic gain control circuit adjusts the signal voltage of the signal before the signal is input to the frequency modulator. The circuitry of the near-end unit (i.e., the base) may include a microprocessor whose control signals are transmitted to the far-end wireless unit. The remote wireless unit communicates with the near-end unit via a wireless communication link. _ Another feature of the present invention is to provide an analog signal wireless communication link. The device includes a near-end unit wired to a telephone line. The near-end unit transmits data over a telephone line via a wired connection. The device also includes a remote unit (wireless) connected to the modem. The remote unit is connected to the modem via wire to transmit data between the two. The remote wireless unit and the near-end unit communicate with each other via a wireless link. The near-end unit includes a radio frequency transmitter to send wireless data signals to the remote radio unit 10 1239756 yuan, and an automatic gain control circuit to substantially maintain the data signal at a fixed peak amplitude and maintain the radio frequency transmitter Within the preset linear magnification range. This feature may also include one or more of the following features. The near-end unit includes a radio frequency receiver and a composite circuit. The radio frequency receiver can receive the data transmitted by the far-end wireless unit and transmit it to the central office of the telephone (output signal or upload signal). The input signal or download stream signal is separated from the output signal. Because of the unbalanced impedance, when the analog input signal passes through the composite circuit, it may contain a large number of output signals. At this time, the automatic gain control circuit will maintain the synthesized signal at a fixed peak voltage. This level is sufficient to reduce the non-linear distortion and in the radio channel, the signal-to-noise ratio can be sufficiently high. The remote wireless unit may also include a composite circuit that separates the input signal from the output signal in the telephone line. The automatic gain control circuit can adjust the uploaded signal level to obtain a better level of non-linear noise, so that the radio has a higher signal-to-noise ratio. The aforementioned devices can also be used to operate like radiotelephones. In this case, the near-end unit can be a radiotelephone near-end unit, and the far-end radio unit can be a radiotelephone microphone (near-end unit). And the remote wireless unit may include a speaker, a microphone, and a dial. The invention in this manner is a dual-function wireless telephone, which can be connected to the Internet for normal voice communication or data signal transmission. Another feature of the invention is to provide a device for transmitting data over a wireless communication link. This device includes a device that generates an analog signal 11 1239756; a device that reduces the non-linear distortion of the data signal when connected via wireless communication. Other features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following description, including the claimed patent scope and illustrations. 4. Embodiment The present invention is a circuit system for dialing a modem to transmit analog signals through a wireless communication link. The data signal (for example, V 3 2 or V. 34 signal) has a complex multi-order vertical amplitude modulation (QAM) modulation symbol set (constellation) and is transmitted by a 4KHz telephone channel analog base Frequency signal. Another example of a data signal is the h number transmitted by V · 90.

In order to accurately transmit the signal of the dial-up modem, a low-noise and a characteristic channel with a linear south amplitude are required. According to the present invention, an effective method for transmitting these signals in the radio frequency channel is to directly tune the RF carrier with V · 34 or V · 9Ό h. As for the v.90 signal, it is necessary to transmit a total of 128 Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) signals with different intervals. The proper radio frequency bandwidth required to transmit this signal is 30KHz, which is similar to the bandwidth of the analog FM channel used by traditional radiotelephones. 12 1239756 The present invention describes a system for establishing a short-distance wireless communication link between a dial-up modem and a twisted-pair telephone line. Without affecting the performance, this circuit system reduces the connection requirements of the two-core telephone line to the dial-up Internet. The modem circuit can operate according to the latest dial-up connection standards, such as V · 90 or V · 92, which provides data transmission speeds up to 56k bits per second (kb / s). According to the operation of standard radiotelephones, the circuit system described here uses an analog frequency modulation (FM / FSK) architecture, rather than a digital architecture, to transmit V · 90 or V · 92 data signals in traditional audio channels. The data transmitted on the audio channel is compared to the audio data. _ This circuit system therefore avoids the use of analog / digital and digital / analog conversion actions that may reduce the performance of V · 90 or ν · 92 modems, while avoiding the higher bandwidth required for digital RF modulation. Standard digital wireless telephone channels can also be used to transmit dial-in data signals. But speed will be reduced by analog / digital conversion. In the above circuit system, a novel and low-cost automatic gain controller (AGC) circuit is used to eliminate the non-linear distortion of the RF circuit caused by the echo of the telephone line. At the same time, the Agc circuit can maintain the data k-level to achieve the signal-to-noise ratio required by the RF channel. The wireless connection established by the circuit system described in the present invention is established by using the following two components: a base unit and a remote unit. These components are arranged as described below. A two-core telephone line connects the computer's modem to the remote wireless unit. This remote wireless unit operated by a battery (or powered by a computer's USB or PC card's 13 1239756 line) can be placed in an attached Inside a small box with an antenna. The two-core telephone line can simultaneously carry data signals transmitted in both directions, including uploading from a modem and downloading to a modem for full-duplex operation. Modem The data signal can be of V. 90 type, which is composed of a 128-level fundamental frequency signal with a 4kHz spectrum width and can be transmitted in traditional audio channels. The remote wireless unit includes a radio frequency transmitter and receiver, which can operate in the radio frequency band of a 900 MHz or 2.4 GHz radio telephone to carry the modem signals back and forth. The transmission on the wireless channel is "four-core", which is different from the two-core telephone line transmission. Wireless transmission can be initiated by frequency modulation (FM). The FM channel can meet the urgent linear demand for V. 90 type transmission signals. The remote wireless unit communicates wirelessly with the base of the wall socket. The remote wireless unit communicates using slightly different carrier frequencies for bidirectional transmission. The base includes dual radio frequency transmitters and receivers. In addition, the circuit system is between the wall socket and the telephone line. It needs to transmit and receive dual audio V.90 signals (duplex). The φ base contains circuitry that limits the nonlinear distortion of the signal transmitted to the modem. This circuit system uses the AGC circuit to limit the peak amplitude, which can be transmitted on the FM radio frequency channel, and keeps the distortion within the rigorous requirements of the V · 90 system. With the automatic gain control circuit in the base, the wireless connection can be made substantially linear, so this wireless connection is imperceptible for the transmitted V. 90 signal. This means that the function of echo cancellation on the telephone line 14 1239756 can be performed with a standard echo canceller at the other end of the wireless link (and built into the computer modem). The circuit system for establishing a wireless connection, in addition to the base and additional circuit systems, and the following components of a remote wireless unit, is a chip set developed using an existing analog wireless telephone using F M technology. This circuit system provides a perfect connection with the computer modem, without any modification to the hardware and software in the modem (such as: communication protocols, etc.). Run and wireless early can work for the battery and charge in the base. Operate according to a standard radiotelephone to reset the security code.

The wireless communication system 10 includes a base 11 and a remote wireless unit 12. The components of these two units are the same as or similar to the standard 900 MHz wireless telephone circuit. 0 The remote wireless unit 12 and the computer 1 3 have an interface connection, so that the computer 1 3 uses the built-in modem. 1 4 < Transmits / receives data and establishes a radio frequency (RF) link 17 on a two-core telephone line 18. The computer 13 may be any type of device, such as a laptop, a desktop computer, or a PDA. It has a built-in dial-up modem 14 that complies with ITU V.90 specifications and operates at speeds up to 56 kbps. It should be noted that other types of modems, such as the slower V · 34 type mentioned in the above 15 1239756, can also be used in the above communication methods. -Μ connection interface base 1 1 through a two-core telephone line plugged into a wall phone socket 丨 6 2 to the telephone company's central office and public telephone network (ρ $ 丁 ν) 'wall phone socket 1 6 is a typical RJ 1 1 connector. The base 11 and the reverse wireless unit 12 communicate with each other through a radio frequency (rf) link 17. The radio frequency (RF) link 17 transmits the standard audio channel, which includes the 4kHz 4kHz fundamental frequency spectrum frequency, and this is also the spectrum range occupied by audio signals (for example, V · 90 modem signals) . Therefore, the data signal can be transmitted from the radio frequency base 11 to the remote wireless unit 12 through the wireless communication system (and vice versa). The range of this RF link may vary, but it is basically a few hundred feet or more. After demodulating the signal, this data signal is plugged into the RJ 1 1 electrical cable socket both at both ends through the two-core telephone line 丨 8 and transmitted between the remote wireless unit 12 and the computer 13. Reference Base (also known as proximal unit) Figure 2 is a block diagram of the base 11. In the base, the two sets of circuits closest to the central office of the telephone are: the telephone line interface 20 and the hybrid circuit 21. The telephone line interface 20 is also referred to as a data access split (DAA), which is connected to the equipment of the central telephone station (not shown) through the telephone line 5, the wall socket 16 and the twisted-pair telephone line. ^ 16 1239756 The telephone interface 20 includes a ring tone detector, a switch, a DC (direct current) circuit maintenance circuit, and a 800k converter (not shown). The above-mentioned telephone interface is changed by 20. The grid system can be referred to the patent application No. 09 / 658,049, the name Λ, /. 1 is a wireless modem, and I will not explain it here. … 21 includes-with electricity ... combination and operation magnification 15 (not shown in the figure), the composite circuit 21 converts Erlang's telephone operation to = telephone operation. The most special function of the composite circuit 2 i is: the signals m (which can be "full-duplex operation") that can flow in two opposite directions at the same time on this two-core telephone line, and make it in two Signals can be obtained on different signal lines (Sisi) 22 and 23: the input (from the telephone central office) signal appears on signal line 22 and is output by signal line 23. ^ ^ The composite circuit 21 is a bridge circuit; therefore, the signals of the signal lines ^ and ^ can only be separated if all the impedances connected to the bridge circuit are properly matched. However, it is necessary to consider that impedance mismatch is possible, because it can make the signal of the signal line 23 become a signal returned from the telephone = the company's central part, and appear on the signal line ^, this `` echo "This input signal will be added so that the amplitude of the generated signal 24 is several times higher than the expected signal amplitude. The echo generated signal 24 can cause the RF transmitter 25 to be overloaded and non-linearly distorted. Embedded in the signal 24 After being destroyed by the non-linear distortion, the echo in the middle cannot be effectively eliminated by the echo canceller in the computer 3, the modem 14, and the like. Therefore, in order to reduce the overload and the non-linear distortion, the present invention provides an AGC circuit 26. It is located between the composite circuit 21 of the base ii and the RF transmitter 25. The AGC circuit 26 includes a 17 1239756 peak amplitude detector which provides a time constant long enough so that the output signal 27 can be kept substantially constant The amplitude of the value is within the linear amplification range of the RF transmitter 25. Because a GC circuit 2 6 reduces the non-linear distortion, The connection 17 becomes basically imperceptible. Therefore, the echo canceller in the modem μ will be able to eliminate, and in some cases, all the echoes appearing on the composite signal line 22. AGC circuit 2 6 The FM amplitude of the output signal 27 can also be maintained to prevent it from being reduced to a very low value to meet the loop of the telephone company's central office for a very long distance. A low FM amplitude will result in a low signal-to-noise ratio of the RF signal. When the AGC circuit 26 is used in many intermediate frequency (IF), the non-linear distortion is not a problem. However, when the AGC circuit 26 operates at the fundamental frequency, its linearity requirements are very strict. The solution can be to use a specific linear connection device to Control the voltage to change the gain, or use a resistive step attenuaror, which can be controlled by digital commands. The gain can be controlled directly or by feedback. The direct control system includes measuring the input voltage. 2 4 and adjust the voltage gain to achieve a constant output signal 2 7. In other words, the feedback control system includes measuring the output signal 2 7 and adjusting the gain or attenuation by It maintains a constant value. The purpose of the AGC circuit 26 is to obtain a fixed gain (or attenuation) setting 'to optimize the signal channel during normal operation. However, the V · 34 and V · 90 data systems are used. When the initial process (for example, the handshake process) is required, the process becomes quite complicated. In the case of bidirectional transmission, the initial process includes several steps that last for several seconds. Among them, the amplitude of the transmitted signal will change. The signals transmitted in the two transmission directions will also change. The initial program will set the gain value of the system for subsequent data transmission. This makes it necessary to set the A g C circuit before the first initial signal exchange 2 6 Gain value. Because if this is not the case, the signal amplitude set by the initial program of V.34 or V.90 will be changed by AGC, that is, the AGC will change the level set by the initial program to different data, so that The initial program becomes useless. This can be accomplished by measuring the dial tone or DC current level obtained from the telephone company's central office. The first received signal is a dial tone, and its level is set by the standards organization. Another method is to measure the DC current, because the DC current is inversely proportional to the attenuation of the return trip. In other words, the attenuation of the circuit can be measured from the DC current. It has a fixed display relationship with the transmission level of the data signal. Therefore, the dial tone can be used to set the gain value of A g c circuit 26 (in direct or feedback mode) to generate a better voltage close to subsequent data transmission. The gain relationship between the dial tone level and the voltage 2 7 can be determined by experiment 'using a common loop echo solution method. Abnormally large echoes may require lower voltages27 to avoid an increase in non-linear distortion in the RF channel. This can be done by increasing the value of χ, for example, 1 d B at a time. Defective echo cancellation, thermal noise (with bad signal-to-noise ratio), and radio wave interference are all sources of transmission errors. These factors may cause the modem 14 to revert to half-full duplex operation, reducing the data transmission speed (e.g., from 56 kb / s) and / or causing an auto-retransmission request 'to require retransmission of the data signal. 19 1239756 RF transmitter 25 converts the signal into a modulated RF signal, while RF receiver 38 converts the modulated RF signal into a data signal. The RF transmitter 25 and the RF receiver 3 2 work at different frequencies, and are connected to a common antenna 29 through a duplexer 60. The antenna 29 transmits the FM h number to the remote wireless unit 1 2 or receives the signal from the remote end. FM signal of wireless unit 12. Many techniques can be used to modulate the RF signal of the RF transmitter 25, including FSK modulation. This technique is also widely used in some digital wireless mobile phones (Big Brother). Regarding FSK, for example, the V. 90 data signal is a frequency modulator (DeWator) used directly on the RF transmitter 25. This frequency modulator performs fsk modulation on the data signal. Taking the data signal of V.90 as an example, it can be directly applied to the frequency transmitter of the RF transmitter 25. As far as the FM circuit is concerned, it is easy to get good linearity and low distortion. On the right, if necessary, the signal voltage can be reduced to further reduce the distortion. However, this also reduces the signal-to-noise ratio to the value required for a V · 90 signal. At the same time, F S K channel is relatively stable transmission medium. Its fundamental frequency gain is essentially independent of signal size (for example, signal degradation). _ The microprocessor 61 controls the functions of the base 11 and talks with the telephone line interface 20, the RF transmitter 25, and the RF receiver 38. The microprocessor 61 is also responsible for transmitting or receiving control signals to or from the remote wireless unit 12. In operation, an external caller (input telephone) operates a ring detector on the telephone line interface 20 to generate a ring indication signal 62. The microprocessor 6 丨 transmits this ringing indication signal 62 to the remote wireless unit 12 on the wireless link, and its beep switch A will operate and respond according to the received data. At this time, the transmitting party 20 1239756 white, the telephone call initiated by "" computer 1 3 will generate a remote switch 7t > 1 2 4 Xiang ,, and return the hook switch control signal to base 1 1 The microprocessor 6 j keeps on the hook switch control signal 63 to generate a hook-off (h00k-off) on the line interface 20, that is, the state of being connected to the phone. The processor 61 is also responsible for automatically selecting a relatively quiet, interference-free RF channel from all 60 available ^ 's at 900 MHz.

In addition, the microprocessor 34 receives a signal 35 from the hook switch trigger circuit 36 and sends out a ring indicator signal 37 = controls the ring driver 38 and the snoring switch 39.

After the modem 4 is disconnected (starting communication), the hook switch of the modem 14 is turned off, and a DC current begins to flow, flowing from the battery voltage + vb of the remote wireless unit 12 and flowing through the remote wireless unit. The resistance R1, Rb, R2 of 12 and the electrical resistance provided by the DC circuit maintenance circuit in the modem 14 are the same as those in the telephone line interface 20. The voltage 46 thus becomes a positive value, and the hook switch trigger circuit 36 initializes the hook switch control voltage 3 5. The hook switch control voltage 35 is operated in the telephone line interface 20 of the base 1 丨 and the hook switch is operated (coming ,, hooking off ,, state). The incoming call transmitted from the telephone central office generates a ring pointer voltage 3 7, which can be used to operate the ring driver 3 8 as described above. The age sound driver 38 operates normally, and generates an audible sound through the sound signal 48 and a piezoelectric transducer (not shown) '. For the remote wireless unit 12 in the wireless communication system 10, the audible age sound is not required. The snoring signal 48 is used as a signal to operate the snoring circuit of the modem 14 in the computer 13. After being converted to high voltage for the first time in the ringing transformer 49 ', it is applied to 22 1239756 line 18 through the ringing switch 39. The chirp signal 48 from the wireless chipset has a higher frequency (up to several KHz) than the usual chirp signal (16 to 68 Hz) from the telephone central office to operate the ringer circuit inside the modem 14. Therefore, it is necessary to replace the low-frequency circuit with a high-frequency circuit by the ring-tone driver 38. Because low-frequency chirping circuits are integral and expensive, they can sometimes be omitted. Such a device cannot be dialed to the modem and its associated computer at the same time, which makes it impossible to receive ongoing faxes and access the computer during mobile dialing. The remote wireless unit 12 (Figure 3) can receive power from a battery (not shown). This battery can be charged when the remote wireless unit 12 is placed in the bracket (c r a d 1 e) provided by the base 11. Following the standard wireless phone regulations, each time the remote wireless unit is placed in the cradle for charging, the password can be changed. This will prevent unauthorized aerial interception from other remotes and access to the base. Another method of power supply is to obtain the required operating voltage from the computer through a USB cable. If this method is used, the method of obtaining the password is different from the previous method. For example, a fixed password is used and the password is stored in the EEPROM 56 (electronic erasable programmable read-only memory) of remote wireless unit 12. . In addition to using a cable to connect the USB connector of the portable computer, the remote wireless unit 12 may also include a USB connector, such as the wireless stick 10a (wireless stick) in FIG. 4. The wireless stick 10a can be directly plugged into a portable computer. Each end of the telephone line 18 (not shown) includes an RJ 1 1 plug, which can be used to connect the wireless stick 10 a to the modem input end of the portable computer. 23 1239756 As shown in Fig. 4, another embodiment of the "remote wireless unit 2" includes a personal electric memory card from Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) card 10b and a portable computer. 13 of electricity. In this configuration, the remote wireless unit 12 can be plugged into a portable computer 1 3. In this way, the 'portable computer 13 can provide the power required by the remote wireless unit 12 to establish a wireless connection through the PCMCIA card 10b. The data signals between the data terminal of the I-type electrical service 13 and the p c μ c j a card 10 b as a wireless connection can be transmitted through a telephone line. Wireless link: the benefits of important functions The wireless communication system 10 can include the same functions as a standard wireless phone, such as a telephone tube with a speaker 54 and a microphone 55, a dial, a bell, and other items. These items can be included in the wireless communication system 10, which allows the wireless communication system 10 to possess and work harder, that is, it can be used as a wireless telephone to transmit sound or to transmit data as described above data. FIG. 5 is a block diagram of a dual function radiotelephone. Switcher 5 2 Series_ Used to switch the functions of wireless phones and wireless modems. The switch control signal is used to identify the hook switch controller 35. When the modem 14 is not connected to the telephone line 18 (as shown in the figure), the voltage 46 is zero and the switch 52 connects the RF receiver 32 to the speaker 54, the microphone 55 j, and the port to the RF transmitter 3 3 . At the same time, “signal” indicates the internal state or gate of the micro-processing state (〇R gat〇 《One input terminal, # One input terminal is enabled by the ph〇Ne button of the radio telephone microphone. 24 1239756 Signal 3 5 is more available It depends on whether the single opening η image% 70% is used for telephone or data transmission to press or remove the indenter line Uompande Wit). That is to say, when used in a wireless telephone, the unit will use the tone ( synab1C) stretcher to improve the signal_noise ratio during speech transmission. In this paper, when the stretcher receives sound (not shown), it includes a compressor that acts on the output signal 27 (as shown in Figure 2). And the extension device acting on the output terminal 40 of the RF receiver 32 (as shown in Fig. 3). The compression device causes a little nonlinear distortion, which is harmful to the data transmission system. The compression device also causes a small amount of transmission channels. Gain changes, called tracking errors, are detrimental to the communication at the beginning of V.34 and V.90 data transmission. Fortunately, the stretcher is not required for data transmission because the AGC circuit 26 will process The problem of level changes. It can be removed during data transmission. The AGC circuits 26 and 45 do not need to be removed when operating in telephone mode. '$ When the electric handset is placed in the cradle provided by the base 11 for charging, the dual-function radiotelephone The remote wireless unit 丨 2 (telephone, tube) operates on the battery. The telephone handset 100 in Figure 6 is an existing example. More specifically, the standard wireless telephone has been added to Figure 2 and Figure ^ After the circuit shown, it can also be used as a wireless communication link to provide services to transmit data. At this time, the 'telephone receiver and telephone line socket (RJ 1 1) are assembled to connect with the computer modem. As shown in the figure As shown in Figure 7, the present invention can also be used for two-line wireless telephones. In this way, the above-mentioned wireless telephones will have two independent telephone lines, one of which only provides a voice signal (wireless telephone) and the other only a data signal ( Wireless connection), or voice and data signals (dual power & 25 1239756 wireless telephone). The circuit system of FIG. 7 is used to establish and provide a wireless connection as shown in the PCMCIA card 10b or USB wireless stick 10a. Another implementation Example A single telephone line is used to establish a wireless connection. This embodiment may include two remote wireless units as shown in FIG. 7: one is a telephone handset and a portable wireless link unit. This telephone line can be used when it is used in a telephone application It can transmit voice, or transmit data through wireless connection, but cannot be used for both voice and data. It is conceivable that the standard wireless telephone can be modified by the present invention into a dual-function wireless telephone. The present invention will not be illustrated The software or hardware configuration shown in 1 to 7 is limited. The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned transmission data through the radio frequency band, or the above-mentioned specific modulation technology.
