Frequency staggered frequency shift keying modulation
First Claim
1. A frequency modulation method for imprinting a digital message formed by a sequence of symbols on a set of frequency bands, whereby each symbol is assigned one symbol value out of a defined set of symbol values, the method comprising steps of defining at least two symbol transmission channels, each symbol transmission channel being formed by a sub-set of frequency bands selected from the set of frequency bands and each frequency band of a symbol transmission channel being allocated to a symbol value of the set of symbol values in a one-to-one relation, such that the symbol transmission channels defined differ from each other in at least one frequency band selected and/or in an allocation of a frequency band to a symbol value, and modulating each of the defined symbol transmission channels successively with a single symbol value of the digital message according to the allocation defined for the frequency bands of the respective symbol transmission channel.

Abstract
A frequency modulation method is proposed that enables an imprinting of a digital message formed by a sequence of symbols on a set of frequency bands. Each symbol of the digital message is hereby assigned just one symbol value out of a defined set of symbol values. According to the method at least two symbol transmission channels are defined with each symbol transmission channel being formed by a sub-set of frequency bands selected from the set of frequency bands and with each frequency band of a symbol transmission channel being allocated to a symbol value of the set of symbol values in a one-to-one relation such, that the symbol transmission channels defined differ from each other in at least one frequency band selected and/or in an allocation of a frequency band to a symbol value. Further, each of the defined symbol transmission channels is successively modulated with a single symbol value of the digital message according to the channel allocation scheme of the respective symbol transmission channel.

9. A conversion controller for a frequency shift keying transmitter and for a frequency shift keying receiver, the controller comprising:
-
a symbol transmission channel definition means for defining at least two symbol transmission channels with each symbol transmission channel being formed by a sub-set of frequency bands selected from a set of frequency bands an allocation means for allocating each frequency band of a symbol transmission channel to a symbol value of the set of symbol values in a one-to-one relation such, that the symbol transmission channels defined differ from each other in at least one frequency band selected and/or in an allocation of a frequency band to a symbol value, an output means for outputting a control signal to an oscillator, whereby the control signal is adapted to adjust the oscillator frequency to the centre frequency of the frequency band used for modulating a respective symbol transmission channel. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
