Wireless Audio Transmission Method And Apparatus For Coupling Audio Players To Audio Receivers

View page
US Patent:
7082203, Jul 25, 2006
Filed:
Jul 11, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/903129
Inventors:
Niko Drakoulis - Elmwood Park IL, US
Ronald G. Pace - Naperville IL, US
International Classification:
H04B 3/00
H04B 5/00
H04B 1/034
H04B 1/06
H04H 5/00
H01B 4/66
US Classification:
381 77, 381 14, 381 79, 455345, 455 99, 439 92, 439 98
Abstract:
A wireless audio transmission apparatus and method for coupling audio players to audio receivers for broadcast of audio signals stored in and processed by the audio player. A housing carrying operative circuitry is electrically connected by a multiconductor cable to an audio player for receiving stereo channel signals. Band pass filters couple the stereo signal and signal ground conductors in the cable to the stereo encoder in the housing. The filtered stereo signals are received by a stereo encoder in the housing and modulated onto a radio frequency carrier signal. A transmitter coupled to an antenna carried in the cable wirelessly transmits the carrier signal and the audio signals to a remote radio frequency receiver for demodulation and broadcast of the audio signals. Preferably, the carrier signal is an FM radio frequency signal. The carrier signal is optionally selectable from a plurality of different carrier signal frequencies.

US Patent:
7095866, Aug 22, 2006
Filed:
Jul 11, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/903166
Inventors:
Niko Drakoulis - Elmwood Park IL, US
Ronald G. Pace - Naperville IL, US
Michael K. Pedigo - Zionsville IN, US
Russell A. Phillips - Lebanon IN, US
Assignee:
Akoo, Inc. - Elmwood Park IL
International Classification:
H04R 5/02
H04M 1/00
H04B 3/00
H04B 7/00
H04B 15/00
US Classification:
381311, 381 77, 455 42, 455555, 455315
Abstract:
A high frequency signal transmission apparatus includes a transmitter for transmitting received signals from a signal source as a modulated signal on a high frequency 900 MHz carrier to a remote receiver. The remote receiver converts the high frequency carrier in at least one conversion step to a lower frequency carrier signal. The lower frequency carrier signal carrying the modulated signal is then converted to an audio output or to another carrier signal and retransmitted as a modulated second signal to another remote receiver capable of demodulating the signal and broadcasting the audio sounds or video images. The oscillators in the transmitter and receiver are selectable to operate at discrete frequencies. Automatic fine tuning control is provided in the receiver to accommodate drift of the oscillator in the receiver.

US Patent:
7647613, Jan 12, 2010
Filed:
Jul 21, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/186572
Inventors:
Niko Drakoulis - Arlington Heights IL, US

Filed:
Oct 15, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/419178
Inventors:
Niko Drakoulis - Elmwood Park IL
Ronald G. Pace - Naperville IL
Michael K. Pedigo - Indianapolis IN
Russell A. Phillips - Lebanon IN
Assignee:
Akoo, Inc. - Elmwood Park IL
International Classification:
H04J 110
US Classification:
370344
Abstract:
A high frequency signal transmission apparatus includes a transmitter for transmitting received signals from a signal source as a modulated signal on a high frequency 900 MHz carrier to a remote receiver. The remote receiver converts the high frequency carrier in at least one conversion step to a lower frequency carrier signal. The lower frequency carrier signal carrying the modulated signal is then converted to another carrier signal and retransmitted as a modulated second signal to another remote receiver capable of demodulating the signal and broadcasting the audio sounds or video images. The oscillators in the transmitter and receiver are selectable to operate at discrete frequencies. Automatic fine tuning control is provided in the receiver to accommodate drift of the oscillator in the receiver. A recorder is coupled to the receiver for temporarily storing a demodulated first signal from the transmitter and then outputting the stored signals to a second transmitter for retransmission to a remote output device.
