AVIONICS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD UTILIZING MULTI-CHANNEL RADIO TECHNOLOGY AND A SHARED DATA BUS
First Claim
1. A method for conducting radio frequency communications using an avionics system including a plurality of multi-channel radios, the method comprising:
- receiving a first signal from a first multi-channel radio at a processor, the first signal corresponding to at least a first channel and a second channel;
receiving a second signal from a second multi-channel radio at the processor, the second signal corresponding to at least a third channel and a fourth channel; and
sending at least one signal from the processor to at least one of an audio panel or an avionics control computer based on predefined channel switching logic.

Abstract
An avionics communication system and method uses multi-channel radios. The system includes a plurality of multi-channel radios and a processor in signal communication with the multi-channel radios that is capable of sending at least one signal to at least one of an audio panel or an avionics control computer based on applying predefined channel switching logic to the channels received by the multi-channel radios. The method includes receiving a first signal from a first multi-channel radio at a processor, receiving a second signal from a second multi-channel radio at the processor, and sending at least one signal from the processor to at least one of an audio panel or an avionics control computer based on applying predefined channel switching logic to the first and second signals. The receive and transmit function on a given channel need not be accomplished by the same radio.
