Abstract

A radio signal relaying device has a PDA and a wireless modulating module connected to the PDA. The PDA is provided with multiple ports of different specifications such as a memory card slot, a USB interface or a serial port. The wireless modulating module is selectively linked to one of the ports to modulate music files stored in the PDA. The modulated sound files can be transmitted in the form of radio waves and then be demodulated and played by any radio receiving device.

Claims

1. A radio signal relaying apparatus comprising:

a personal digital assistant (PDA) with multiple ports of different specifications, wherein the PDA stores music files and a music play program therein, wherein the music play programs selects the music files to be broadcast and sets a broadcast frequency; and

a wireless modulating module, which connects to a selected port among the multiple ports of the PDA and modulates the selected music files to become radio signals at the set frequency, wherein the radio signals are further transmitted by the wireless modulating module.

2. The radio signal relaying device as claimed in claim 1, the wireless modulating module comprising:

a linking interface correspondingly connected to the selected port of the PDA;

a microprocessor, which connects to the linking interface and retrieves the set broadcast frequency and the music files from the PDA;

a coder-decoder(CODEC) connected to the microprocessor to receive the music files and convert the music files into analog data;

an FM modulating module connected to the microprocessor and the CODEC, wherein the FM modulating module modulates the selected music files to become radio signals at the set broadcast frequency; and

a power amplifier connected to the FM modulating module to transmit the radio signals.

3. The radio signal relaying device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the linking interface is a CF memory card interface, and the selected port of the PDA for connection to the CF memory card interface is a CF memory card slot.

4. The radio signal relaying device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the linking interface is a USB interface, and the selected port of the PDA for connection to the USB interface is a USB port.

5. The radio signal relaying device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the linking interface is an SD memory card interface, and the selected port of the PDA for connection to the CF memory card interface is an SD memory card slot.

6. The radio signal relaying device as claimed in claim 1, the wireless modulating module comprising:

a serial port that correspondingly connects to a serial port of the PDA;

a microprocessor, which connects to the serial port of the wireless modulating module and retrieves the set broadcast frequency from the PDA;

a stereo module connected to the serial port of the wireless modulating module to retrieve the music files of analog format for improving audio quality;

an FM modulating module connected to the microprocessor and the stereo module, wherein the FM modulating module modulates the selected music files to become radio signals at the set broadcast frequency; and

a power amplifier connected to the FM modulating module to transmit the radio signals.

7. The radio signal relay device as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a radio receiving device to demodulate the transmitted radio signals from the wireless modulating device and to play the music files.

8. The radio signal relay device as claimed in claim 2 further comprising a radio receiving device to demodulate the transmitted radio signals from the wireless modulating device and to play the music files.

9. The radio signal relay device as claimed in claim 3 further comprising a radio receiving device to demodulate the transmitted radio signals from the wireless modulating device and to play the music files.
