REMOTELY FED MODULE
First Claim
1. A communication system comprising:
- a base station;
a satellite located remote from said base station;
a single signal line connected between said base station and said satellite allowing a first signal, having different frequencies, to be transmitted in a first direction from the satellite to the base station, and a second signal, having different frequencies, to be transmitted in a second direction from said base station to said satellite;
said satellite comprising a first filter bank that spectrally separates signals at said satellite;
said base station comprising a second filter bank that spectrally separates signals at said base station; and
said single signal line being connected between said first filter bank and said second filter bank to cause signals transmitted by said single signal line between said base station and said satellite to be respectively spectrally separated in said first and second filter banks.

Abstract
In a method and device for the transmission of a multiplicity of signals having different frequencies between a base station and a module situated at a location remote from the base station via a single, common cable connection, some of the signals being transmitted from the electronic assembly to the module and, in general simultaneously, the remaining signals are transmitted in the opposite direction. Each of the base station and the module has bandpass filter bank therein having a multiplicity of bandpass filters, the number thereof being a function of the number of channels to be transmitted, with which the respectively received signals are spectrally separated from one another so that they are available for further signal processing in the base station, or for further use in the module.

18. A method for communicating between a base station and a satellite located remote from said base station comprising the steps of:
-
connecting said base station and said satellite with a single signal line allowing a first signal, having different frequencies, to be transmitted in a first direction from the satellite to the base station, and a second signal, having different frequencies, to be transmitted in a second direction from said base station to said satellite; providing said satellite with a first filter bank that spectrally separates signals at said satellite; providing said base station with a second filter bank that spectrally separates signals at said base station; and via said single signal line, transmitting between said first filter bank and said second filter bank and spectrally separating signals transmitted by said single signal line between said base station and said satellite respectively in said first and second filter banks. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
