SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PREVENTING LAPSES OF COMMUNICATION IN RADIO VOICE COMMUNICATIONS
First Claim
1. A system for transmitting radio communications, comprising:
- a communications transceiver configured to transmit signals through a communications antenna;
a protection antenna configured to obtain a received signal containing a signal of interest from a remote transmitter combined with interference from the communications transceiver; and
a protection receiver coupled to the protection antenna and configured to;
obtain a sample of a transmit signal,obtain the signal of interest by removing the interference from the received signal by using the transmit signal, andstore the transmit signal if a communication channel is blocked and retransmitting the stored transmit signal when the communication channel is unblocked.

Abstract
A system and method are provided for preventing lapses of communication in radio voice communications. The system may include a communications transceiver for transmitting signals through a communications antenna. A protection antenna, which may be isolated from the communications antenna, may obtain a received signal from a remote transmitter. The received signal may contain a signal of interest that may be combined with interference from the communications the communications transceiver. A protection receiver, coupled to the protection antenna, may obtain a sample of a transmit signal from the communications transceiver. Using the sample of this transmit signal, the protection receiver may remove the interference from the received signal to obtain the signal of interest. If it is determined that a communications channel is blocked, the protection receiver may store the transmit signal and later retransmit the stored transmit signal when the communication channel is unblocked.
