1. A cellular communication device, comprising:
- an adjustable radio which transmits and receives cellular communication radio signals based on selected communication parameters, the adjustable radio including;
an antenna for wirelessly transmitting and receiving the cellular communication radio signals; and
an RF section for sequencing the radio signals according to a set of communication parameters selected from among a plurality of different sets of communication parameters including pseudonoise code sequence frequency hopping sequence, modulation scheme and combinations thereof;
wherein the RF section operates with a clock speed higher than the data rate of the cellular communication radio signals, in order to reconfigure substantially instantly between a plurality of selected sets of communication parameters, so as to transmit and receive communication substantially simultaneously over a plurality of frequency bands.

Abstract
A universal radio having adjustable communication parameters such that the radio can communicate in different DS or FH type systems as well as DS-FH hybrid type systems which employ both DS and FH spread spectrum techniques. The radio is included in a mobile terminal and/or base station and can be adjusted by the user to employ communication parameters relating to various different cellular communication systems. Thus, the mobile terminal and/or base station can be used in combination with the cellular communication systems provided by different manufacturers.
