Switchboard for dual-rate single-band communication system
First Claim
1. A switchboard device comprising:
- a first input for receiving a first stream of data sampled at a first sampling rate;
a second input for receiving a second stream of data sampled at a second sampling rate;
a converter for modifying the first stream of data, producing a modified stream of data sampled at the second sampling rate; and
a combiner for combining the modified stream of data and the second stream of data, producing a combined stream of data.

Abstract
A switchboard device and methods of operation of same are disclosed. Embodiments of the invention may provide a flexible means of interconnecting wideband and narrowband communications interfaces, where wideband communications interfaces may transfer wideband data sampled at a higher sampling rate, and narrowband communication interfaces may transfer narrowband data sampled at a lower sampling rate. Data streams sampled at different sampling rates can be combined and the sampling rate of the result adjusted as needed by the destination interface. Methods of operating embodiments of the present invention are included. An additional aspect of the present invention may include machine-readable storage having stored thereon a computer program having a plurality of code sections executable by a machine for causing the machine to perform the foregoing.
